Story

Abseil completed !!!! Donations page still open for a few weeks

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

In August 2008, I will co-lead an Open Team from Northern Ireland on a Habitat for Humanity 'Global Village' 2 week house building trip to Mozambique.

Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world with about 70% of the population living below the poverty line and an average life expectancy of 37 years. Our trip will make a difference in providing housing for families who could not otherwise afford shelter.

To help raise funds for the trip, I have completed an Abseil down the Europa Hotel in Belfast and ask you to consider donating on line here to support my efforts.

If you are a UK tax payer, please consider Gift Aid, as this will add 25% to your donation at no cost  to yourself.

Thank you so much for your support. It is much appreciated and will provide a huge benefit to the new home owners in Mozambique.

Kate
