Story

Thanks for visiting my page!

In mid-September I'll be heading to Malindi, Kenya for 12 weeks as a volunteer with VSO ICS, which is a volunteer scheme for 18-25 year olds. I'll be working on a climate change-based project alongside volunteers from both the UK and Kenya, but before I go, I need to raise £1500. The money raised will go towards supporting the work of VSO and will enable them to continue sending youth volunteers to the developing world to make a lasting difference in disadvantaged and impoverished communities.

If you want to learn more about the scheme, here's the VSO ICS website:

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I'll also be doing bake sales, a sponsored walk and hopefully bag packing in a local supermarket. No pressure, but my deadline is the 14th of September! This has all happened very quickly, but is a fantastic opportunity to get out there and try to make a difference, so please dig deep and donate now!

About the charity

VSO is an international development organisation that brings people together to share skills, build capabilities, and change lives to make the world a fairer place for all. Everyday, VSO volunteers are working to empower people living in some of the world’s most marginalised communities.
