On the 5th of November 2011 I will be embarking on a great challenge in aid of a truly great cause. On behalf of the charity “Hope For A Child” (www.hopeforachild.org.uk) I will be trekking through the Sahara Desert. My trek will see me cover approximately 106kms taking around 32 hours in total, which will be completed in six days.
We empower a mother to earn. She develops a business, which leads to sustainable family income. Experience has shown that when women bring in an income, they typically spend it on improving nutrition, health and education of their own children and other children in their extended family groups. This creates a multiple effect that can lift entire communities out of poverty. Over the next 10 years Hope for a Child plans to enable basic financial services for 1 million of the poorest people in Africa. Your donations can really make a difference to improving the lives of others. Hope for a Child is dedicated to seeing children rise from poverty in the poorest areas of the world.
How?
Why empower women?
