Adrian Barnett fundraising for World Vision Ireland

I have recently started sponsoring a 9-year-old boy named Henry, through the charity, World Vision. The charity brings hope and protection to children in the world's most toughest places. Henry lives in Honiara in the Solomon Islands with his family in a community where access to clean water, education and basic resources can be limited. Through sponsorship, he is supported with essentials such as schooling, nutrition and access to a safer, more stable environment. In July 2026, I will be travelling to the Solomon Islands to meet Henry and to better understand the community he lives in (I’m covering my own costs for the travel). This is not just about sponsorship at a distance, but about building a real connection and seeing first-hand the impact that this support has. Alongside this, I have set a goal to raise £3,000 before the trip. The funds raised will go towards supporting Henry and the wider community programmes delivered by World Vision, helping to provide practical, long-term improvements in areas such as education, clean water and wellbeing. If you are able to contribute, thank you – any support, large or small, will make a meaningful difference. Your support is really appreciated. If you can help to promote this page I am very grateful. You can share my page on any social media using the social sharing sections. Thanks again!

About Solomon Islands Sponsors Trip 2026

Every child deserves clean, safe water — at home, at school, and in their community.

Together, we can help end the global water crisis within our lifetime.

In Solomon Islands, many children attend school without access to reliable water, safe toilets or handwashing facilities. This puts their health at risk and disrupts their learning every day. Girls are especially affected, often missing school during menstruation due to a lack of private, appropriate sanitation.

This project focuses on improving water, sanitation and hygiene in primary schools across World Vision Ireland's Solomon Islands Area Programme. 

When schools have clean water and proper sanitation, children get sick less often, attendance improves, and teachers are better supported to stay and teach. The impact reaches far beyond the classroom, helping families and communities build healthier futures.

Give today to help children stay healthy, stay in school, and keep moving forward on the path out of poverty.

P.S. All travel and personal expenses for participants visiting Solomon Islands are covered by the individuals themselves. Every euro raised through this fundraiser will go directly towards supporting local communities.
