AbleChildAfrica - Kilimanjaro · 25 November 2010 ·

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. &nbsp;After more than six years spent supporting my wife to raise money for AbleChildAfrica I thought I would give her a rest and have a go myself and what better challenge than the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro which also happens to be in the land of my birth.</p> <p>I grow up hearing the stories of the independence movement in Tanzania who talked of lighting the flame of independence flame on top of Africa's highest mountain. &nbsp;But almost 50 years later so many children in Tanzania still live in abject poverty. &nbsp;An estimated 2m of them live with disability too. &nbsp;AbleChildAfrica has 3 projects in Tanzania trying to change that. &nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
