Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm not walking specifically for this charity. I am walking because I want to reach the sacred land of Karbala in the humblest and simplest mindset, in order for me to fully appreciate the importance of this visit.

Everytime you go to someone's house as a guest, you'd like to take something as a token of appreciation for the invitation. And similarly, I don't want to go there empty-handed. Imam Hussain stood for peace, equality and truth amongst many other principles. I want to raise as much money as I can so the needy people in Kenya can have facilities good enough to help them survive.

This year we've worked alongside the World Federation to come up with a £137,000 project that will aim to improve water supply, food production, health, education and socio-economic status of the poor and needy in the Garissa and Wajir Counties of Northeast Kenya.

We aim to do this through the following:

1. To construct a borehole in Boransis in Garissa County to improve water supply for the village.

 

2. To set up a greenhouse and irrigation and farming system in Boransis village of Garissa County. 

3. To set up a greenhouse and irrigation and farming system in AliKune village of Garissa County.

7. To develop 200 kitchen gardens in Wajir County.
