Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page in aid of FIDA.

I am running the Women's Mini Marathon in Dublin on the 7th of June to raise money for FIDA - The Ethiopia Fund.  Your donation will go towards children's education in the slums of Addis Ababa.  It costs £12 per month to provide schooling for each child, that includes school fees and materials and a meal a day.  

I will be going to Ethiopia in July to help start our new project, which is to build a school which will house 250 pupils.  We also run women's micro-business and HIV projects.  FIDA Northern Ireland is a totally voluntary organisation with all staff funding their own travel and costs themselves, so every penny goes to the project!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. 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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
