The Kennington Overseas Aid project aims to raise £10,000 for an Oxfordshire-based international aid agency.

Action for Peoples in Conflict (AfPiC), based in Longworth, works in Bosnia, Kosovo, South Africa and Sierra Leone and towards projects in Oxford, London and Northern Ireland.

The money raised in Kennington this year will go towards extending a home in Kenya for orphaned and destitute children whose lives have been traumatised by tribal conflicts. The home will be called The Kennington Building.

Kennington Overseas Aid was formed 33 years ago and has raised thousands of pounds for charities operating in the UK and abroad.
