When Zelda Mantewa turned 11 this year, she knew exactly what she wanted for her birthday… to end child poverty and educational disadvantage! Instead of blowing out her birthday candles and hoping for her wish to come true, she came up with her own fundraising idea. The 11 for 11 Campaign to raise £11,000 for poor communities in Newham and Ghana.

Zelda, who is a British born Ghanaian living in Newham, is known internationally as DJ Zel, the multi-award winning youngest radio DJ in the country. She currently hosts the Non-Stop Saturday morning radio show, 10am-12pm on GN Radio.

DJ Zel launched her campaign in February and has already raised more than £4,500. She said: “Please donate to my 11 for 11 Fundraising Campaign here and help me make life better for children and families who live in unimaginable poverty in our community.”

The campaign is run by the Heartfelt Philanthropy Network.
