My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for AFRINSPIRE.
In a recent visit to Africa I saw what is being achieved by Afrinspire partners. Lives are being transformed. I saw homesteads where the livelihood of families has been improved in simple practical ways as a result of the adult literacy programme and the community self-help groups. I saw water tanks which serve communities with clean water for the first time. I visited disabled people in rural areas who are being assisted to overcome the stigma and disadvantage they’ve experienced because of their disability. I heard a lot of thanks and gratitude to Afrinspire from many people.

A small amount of money can achieve an incredible return in Africa when used carefully as a catalyst for development, and I would like to help the Afrinspire partners do so much more.

By the time you are reading this I will have taken part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge on 20th June to raise funds for AFRINSPIRE. The walk is 26 miles long over rough terrain and takes in the three peaks of Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. The course is difficult but I finished well inside the 12 hour target time. You can see the route at http://www.walkingenglishman.com/dales1.htm

The money donated through this website will go directly to AFRINSPIRE. I hope you will sponsor me and help to transform some more lives.

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

So please sponsor me now! Thank you.
