My story

Tim and Mat are a pair of adventure seeking Brits who have decided to hop on a tandem and pedal their way from Woking, UK to Nairobi, Kenya in the name of charity. They will point themselves south-east in June 2011 and keep pedalling until they reach Kenya, a trip of over 5600 miles.

They hope to reap a huge harvest of donations that will go to the Turning Point Trust and buy farm land for single-mums from the Kibera Slum. The project takes single-mothers with their children out of Kibera and gives them training to farm their way out of poverty.

£6 will buy 12 square metres of land

£12 can provide 2 windows for the mums to look out over their plots

£18 will stake 12 fenceposts in the ground to protect the farmland

£49 will purchase 100 square metres of land

So please dig deep and donate now.
