- Ready? - [man] Yeah, man.
- Hi. I'm Tom. - I'm Sam.
- I'm Harry. - And I'm Paddy, and we...
...are The Brothers Trust.
With my family, we raise money for charities
that might struggle to be heard...
...so that they can continue their great work.
Our fund-raising events are mainly focused on Tom.
Well, actually, they're all focused on me, but yeah.
And me. Sometimes.
And because the fans of Spider-Man are worldwide...
...it's important that who we support reflects this.
Like Momentum in London,
which helps children with life-limiting conditions.
The John Foundation in India,
which takes women in awful situations off the streets.
The Empowerment Plan in Detroit which helps homeless people.
But it all started with The Lunchbowl Network in Kenya.
[woman] Living in Kibera...
we face so many challenges.
Like...
Raising children in Kibera, it's a bit... It's hard.
Especially raising mostly the boys.
'Cause when the boys grow up,
if they have nothing to do,
they get up joining the gangsters.
And when they join the gangsters,
sometimes... they're killed.
[man 2] You know the condition here in Kibera,
the children are in a bad way.
They are really surviving by the mercies of God.
[woman] Raising... Also raising a girl child
is a big problem.
Because when they are 12 years...
they get pregnant.
The big problem we have in Kibera...
no shelter.
If you do not have a job, you cannot live in a good house.
You have to live in a bad house.
You cannot afford food.
You cannot even afford electricity.
Also you cannot afford food and school.
It is so hard in Kibera.
You cannot take your children to school if you have no job.
And also you cannot afford shelter.
[woman 2] You could call where they live a home,
but it really is a shack with a corrugated iron roof.
It is very common for there to be seven, eight, nine, ten
family members in one small room.
And in that room, they will cook,
they will sleep, mostly on the floor,
sometimes with some kind of bedding,
but sometimes just on the hard floor.
And the roofs leak, there are holes and the rats come in.
It's really, really unpleasant.
[woman] The parents wake up very early in the morning.
They have to go to work.
And most of them just go to look for work. They don't have a job.
So they have to go very early in the morning to look for a job.
And they have to leave their children behind.
The children have to walk by themselves to school.
Even children with four years, five years,
they just walk by themselves to school.
[woman 2] None of us ever choose where we're gonna be born,
and for many of us, we've done very well,
we've won the ovarian lottery,
but for the children who get born into Kibera, it's just...
It's not fair that they're the ones who get to live
in such a degrading environment.
I'm Sally McGreavy,
and I founded the charity The Lunchbowl Network with my husband.
We really thought that we wanted to be able to help, even in a small way,
to try and help to just bring some kind of transformation
to the lives of the most needy children.
We have two schools.
Thankfully, I have a school that takes children through to the age of 14.
That's gonna have a radical effect on the children's well-being,
because it now means that we can stimulate children.
Literally from the age of two, we are taking care of their nutrition,
breakfast and lunch every day
and many of them at weekends as well.
My name is Irene Chepcoech.
I was born in Kibera.
On Saturday, we have feeding program.
We have 350 children.
We feed them. They come at 10:00.
We cook beans, rice, chapatis.
We also give them bananas...
milk.
Yes, the food is helping them
because most of the children cannot even afford lunch...
and most of them cannot even afford supper,
so when they come there, we give them food.
Ah, welcome!
[all] Ah, welcome!
[chatter]
[Harry] I actually went out to Kibera to film what you've just seen
and I got to meet some of the kids and really see what Lunchbowl does
and it was amazing to see,
and I think, what it boils down to, the main thing,
that they're providing for these children is food.
Because these kids can't afford breakfast, lunch, dinner,
which is something that we all take for granted.
It's abnormal if I don't have one of those three meals in a day,
but for these children, it's abnormal if they do.
And it's almost a bit heartbreaking to see
how such small things that we all take for granted
go such a long way.
Through your support, we've been able to help The Lunchbowl Network
in a number of ways.
To this present day, we have bought two 40-seater school buses,
which has allowed The Lunchbowl Network to open up a second school
which will keep kids in education until they're 14 years old.
[Harry] Now, there are hundreds of reasons
why that's a dramatic thing for these kids,
but just to rattle a few of them off...
We're taking these kids out of Kibera to this school
which they see as a paradise.
They're with their friends, they're having fun,
they get a free lunch, free breakfast, they can have fun and enjoy themselves.
And just growing up, kids are so impressionable.
Growing up and learning about the world, learning about life, learning about...
...their beautiful country that they know so little about
because of their living circumstance.
They can go on school trips and see these wonderful animals
that we all know and love, but they have no idea about.
I took the school bus trip with some of the kids to school
and just to see how excited they were to get on a bus.
Some of these kids, they've never been in a car,
they've never seen an airplane.
Just to go on a bus and be on a bus, for them, is so exciting.
[Tom] Something that's always been really important to the Holland family,
growing up, is rugby,
and one of the amazing things about The Lunchbowl Network
and these buses that we've provided is now
we can help the kids get to a rugby ground where they can play rugby every weekend.
They receive a free lunch when they're there.
They get to hang out with their friends, play rugby all day.
[Harry] And you can just see how much fun they're having.
And it's a five-mile walk from Kibera to the rugby ground.
And when the buses are full, some of the kids walk five miles,
barefoot, pretty much,
just to play rugby and have a hot meal afterwards.
And I'm hoping that,
in the years to come, with The Brothers Trust raising money,
we're able to provide another bus and another bus,
so there aren't any kids left behind.
It is truly amazing to see
what The Lunchbowl Network have achieved so far.
It's a step in the right direction,
but there's still so much more that we can do.
So, as The Brothers Trust grows and as The Lunchbowl Network grows,
so does their ability to help more people
and improve the quality of life for these poor kids.
It's been an amazing journey for The Brothers Trust.
We've already helped so many people and it's all down to you guys.
There's 14 Lunchbowls. There's 14 charities we support.
And there's no reason why, in a year's time, it can't be 28,
and then 35, and then 70, and then 100.
Because, in essence, what we do is help small charities thrive.
We help small charities continue their great work.
And with your support, we can make their great work even better.
The Brothers Trust, at heart, is a family, and the family is growing,
and with your help, we can make it grow even bigger.
And so, from all of us...
thank you.
- [man] Cool, man. - All right.
Let's go. Thanks. All right.
