Sport Relief: The Street Children of Addis Ababa

How does the money you donate to Sport Relief get spent? In a commercial radio first, Sport Relief partnered with Absolute Radio to help raise money to tackle critical issues affecting people across the UK and the world. One of the organisations that Sport Relief money helps is GOAL. I spent 4 days in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa with presenter Geoff Lloyd to tell the stories of how Sport Relief donations were being spent by the organisation to help street children across the city. In the short series Geoff experiences first hand the challenges that children face growing up on the streets in the city. He also meets those street children whose lives have been turned around by the money that people raise in the UK. Production notes: The content was packaged as podcast as well as these 5 audio diaries which were broadcast across the week on Absolute Radio. An accompanying film further brought to life the work that the charity was doing to help street children in the area.
