Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The COINS Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now! In order to raise money for Habitat for Humanity & CARE who are aid agencies that work to eliminate poverty housing & injuctices worldwide respectively, I have decided to accept the challenge of the UK 3 peaks (possibly foolishly).
This an endurance test of considerable physical & mental proportions which, involves climbing the UK's 3 highest peaks (Ben Nevis, Scarfel Pike & Snowden) in just a meagre 24 hours. Iam asking for any amount you can afford to sponsor me to do this for what are two excellent causes. Below is some brief information on both organisations
Habitat for Humanity
In 1976 Habitat for Humanity was founded with the sole aim of tackling poverty housing on a global scale. Thirty years later we are working in 92 countries around the world and have built 225,000 homes in partnership with people in need of simple, decent housing.
This year, well over a million people around the world will wake up every morning and remember the appalling conditions they endured before building with Habitat for Humanity. Thankfully, for those people, squalid living conditions are now just a bad memory.
Volunteers and homeowners work side by sideHabitat for Humanity is now building at such a rate that every 21 minutes, another family moves into a simple, decent home and begins a new life of hope, dignity and opportunity.
CARE
CARE International is one of the world’s top three aid agencies, fighting poverty and injustice in 70 countries around the world and helping 55 million people each year to find routes out of poverty.
Their mission is to create lasting change in poor communities and they put money where it is needed most: more than 90 pence in every pound goes towards our poverty fighting programmes. That’s one of the highest rates among all the UK aid agencies.
With more than 60 years’ practical and hands-on experience, their programmes tackle the deep-seated root causes of poverty, not just the consequences. Just two examples of the way they do this is to help farmers to grow their own food and helping people start small businesses.
