Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
In February I will be going to Nicaragua with Raleigh International. The purpose of this trip is to volunteer with them on an international citizen services placement.
Throughout my time in Nicaragua I will be on a livelihood project, aiming to make a positive impact on communities and individuals and create lasting change for people living in poverty.
Whilst on this placement I will be supporting local women and young people to set up their own business and local enterprises. My aim is to grow and develop their business skills. Also helping them to create profitable business plans and develop strong pitches in order to access funding and loans.
In Nicaragua, 30 percent of the population live on no more than $2 per day. Poverty rates are even higher in rural areas with 50% of households living in extreme poverty. The limited access to job opportunities and schools means that many of the population must rely on operating businesses such as small farms in order to survive.
My place is already secured and paid for so all donations will go directly towards the charity making a positive difference to the lives of many people in Nicaragua.
Thank you for your support! :-)
