Department for International Development
The great news is that this Red Nose Day, the UK Department for International Development (DFID) is matching, up to an incredible £5 million, the money raised to help get the hardest to reach children in Africa into school.
This means your fundraising will make an even bigger difference and we will be able to change even more African children's lives for the better.
DFID believes every child has the right to education and funds programmes around the world that tackle the obstacles preventing children going to school, such as tuition fees and lack of teachers.
