Raising money for

AV Foundation

Charity Registration No. 1069099

The AV Foundation is an educational charity supporting rural schools in Africa, Asia and Latin America. It was established by the volunteering organisation Africa & Asia Venture ("AV") to help enhance the quality of school education in the communities served by AV volunteers.

Our fundraising efforts are focused around one project per year in each country where AV operates. Projects involve providing new or refurbished school classrooms, libraries, washrooms and kitchens; supplying books, teaching materials and sports equipment; financing teachers' costs and training expenses, as well as selectively financing pupil subsidy schemes or bursaries.

AV's strength at grassroots level, with its network of in-country representatives, enables us to establish genuine community needs, closely monitor the implementation of projects and ensure that funds are properly spent. Wherever possible we work with former AV volunteers who have dedicated time and energy to helping the schools and communities where they spent time as volunteers.

My story

Thanks very much for logging in to sponsor me!

As you know, I summitted Everest in the early hours of 22 May 2009. By doing so, I hope to raise enough money for AVF (AV Foundation) to build 2 new classrooms for a primary school in Pachok, which lies in the foothills of the Himalayas. AVF is a great charity. It is affiliated to Africa & Asia Venture, the gap year volunteering company and supports schools in some of the poorest countries in Asia, Africa & Latin America.

AVF have agreed that 50% of the proceeds from this fundraising will go towards the costs of the climb up to a limit of £12,000. Thereafter all funds will go to AVF towards the classrooms at St Josephs Middle School in Pachok. These new classrooms will enable the school to upgrade to a secondary school and so enable many more children to be educated locally, rather than have to go away to a boarding school, which parents cannot afford.

To learn more about AVF, see www.avfoundation.org.
