Raising money for

Habitat for Humanity Northern Ireland

Charity Registration No. XR18070

Habitat for Humanity is a worldwide Christian housing ministry. Habitat seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. Building in over 90 countries, the average cost of a Habitat for Humanity house in the developing world is £1,235. In Northern Ireland we support global Habitat for Humanity projects by raising funds and sending Global Village volunteer teams. Habitat also works locally, bringing together thousands of volunteers to help regenerate and reconcile divided communities.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page to established to help me raise £1500 for my Habitat For Humaniy trip to a global village outside Maputo, Mozambique in July. I am heading out with a group of Habitat for Humanity volunteers to build a house for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS...and I'm getting a bit scared about my lack of building skills!!!

I've less than two weeks, two jags and some malaria tablets to go. I've raised well over my target now thanks to the kind donations of friends, family and strangers. I am, of course, still taking donations and any amount is greatly appreciated.

My friends, who took part in the marathon with me, have also got a website it's www.justgiving.com/locko-jip if you want to check it out, too.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Habitat for Humanity Northern Ireland gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
