My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit RiverStone's JustGiving page.

The RiverStone team are hoping to raise over £2,500 for the COINS Foundation from its participation in the annual Insurance Industry Challenge.  The Challenge takes place at Millwall Docks on 17 September and involves a dragon boat racing event followed by a cycle relay and a 2km run. Details are here.

The COINS Foundation aims to support projects which address local issues in a sustainable way. It works with its project partners and sponsors to create projects that change the root causes of poverty and discrimination and to develop long-term solutions which will help to bring about permanent change. The Foundation receives sponsorship for all of its costs, which means that 100% of the money raised goes to its project partners. In its first round of grants in September 2008, COINS Foundation supported projects to build decent homes for nearly 500 orphans across Zambia, Uganda and Mozambique and provided funds to build a secondary school in Uganda.  Further details of the Foundation’s work are at http://www.coinsfoundation.org.  

The proceeds from this year’s Challenge will help fund a development plan for the entire community of Kawama in Zambia.  Kawama is a desperately poor region that is home to 22,000 people.  Early practical projects include the expansion of a school for orphans and vulnerable children, establishing a vocational training programme in construction skills, a sanitation project to bring running water to the school and a community-wide health needs assessment programme.
