The Cherish Fund was founded in 1991 in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, by Irene Bernadette Moses. Irene felt that God was leading her to set up a charity, run on Christian principles, with the aim of reaching out to children and families and offering them relief from hardship and crisis.
Irene was born in Malawi, and the early years saw work both there, and in the Mansfield area, where some people still remember the charity’s shop from years gone by.
Africa has been the focus for several years now, and having pioneered child sponsorship through a school in Sierra Leone, we are now developing opportunities to build on existing work in Malawi, as well as a new opportunity to support healthcare in Uganda.
