My story
|
Hello everyone,
Firstly, many thanks for visiting my justgiving page.
I am currently working on a project called Ubunye Challenge which I truly believe in and always wanted to be a part of. Ubunye combines 3 main ultra endurance events with the aim to support development in some of the poorest regions in Africa.
Unfortunately or rather fortunately I will not dare to complete any of the extreme sports however I will be contributing to the wonderful cause in my own way; choosing sports that I love and have been practicing since my childhood - running. I will be joining running races across the UK to raise awareness about the need for development in Africa.
Deeper description of the cause is below and a more detailed explanation is on our website www.ubunyechallenge.com.
All donations go towards chosen educational projects directly to our charities and to be used in the African communities which the Ubunye team will visit in 2012.
Once again thank you for taking your time reading our story and all your generous donations are highly appreciated.
Mirka

More information about Ubunye Challenge:
In 2012 the Ubunye team will:
- cycle across the UK - swim the English Channel - row the Atlantic Ocean Our mission is to raise money to work towards building communities in some of the poor and most under developed rural areas of Africa.
We are joining forces with the Africa Foundation in the UK and Angus Gillis Foundation in South Africa. Both foundations, which have an existing relationship, identify and embark on projects involving African communities; helping them to develop and to empower individuals. The foundations recognize that true development takes place only when communities invest in themselves. This philosophy ties in very closely to the spirit and beliefs of Ubunye.
Ubunye” is a South African Xhosa word that means “Team Spirit” or “Togetherness”. This word reflects what our challenge is about and how we will look to bring people together from different walks of life to believe that we can make a difference in Africa. |

We fund projects based on the needs within the communities specifically in the following three areas: </p> <p>* _Education_ (http://www.africafoundation.org/) - school improvement, bursary schemes, conservation lessons </p> <p>* _Healthcare_ (http://www.africafoundation.org/) - primary healthcare centres, HIV/AIDs awareness programmes, access to water, sanitation </p> <p>* _Income Generating Activities_ (http://www.africafoundation.org/) </p> <p>- agricultural projects, skills centres, entrepreneurial support A key Africa Foundation aim is to help break the cycle of poverty. We therefore seek to support projects that combine to provide a ‘conveyor belt’ of resources from pre-natal care, right the way through to university bursaries. </p>
