An curry house has helped a charity raise more than £1,000 towards teachers salaries in Uganda.
Yasmin Indian Brasserie, in Great Baddow, managed to raise £1,238.86 by holding a curry night for Hand in Hand, a Witham charity which aims to transform the lives of children born in poverty.
With a salary of only £20 a month, that means five teachers have their salaries covered for one year at a fantastic project in Iganga, Uganda.
Every pound raised at the Indian for Iganga evening will go directly to the Iganga Project started by a local pioneer who saw that children were not going to school.
