Actor Jimi Mistry (EastEnders, The Guru), has just returned from a visit to Rwanda with the anti-poverty charity ActionAid, as part of the charity’s Unforgettable Moments campaign. Jimi saw how child sponsorship makes a huge difference to the lives of children and their communities in Africa.
The East Is East star has been sponsoring a child with ActionAid for several years and visited the post-conflict country to meet children who are growing up without a mum or dad. He said: “ActionAid’s child sponsorship programme is part of what makes people happy because it works, not just for one child but it changes the lives of whole families and communities forever.”

ActionAid is asking people across the UK to celebrate their unforgettable moments just like Jimi. For 50p a day – the cost of a pint of milk – unforgettable moments can be created for children across the developing world.
