Friends Of The Citizens Foundation

Charity Registration No. 1087864

Friends of The Citizens Foundation (FTCF) is a UK registered charity that raises funds for The Citizens Foundation (TCF); Pakistan's leading non-profit education charity. Since its inception in 1995, TCF has built 600 purpose-built school units nationwide in which it provides formal quality education to 80,000 children regardless of ethnicity, gender, caste or religion. Our 4,150 female teachers ensure 50% of all children enrolled are girls. "The quality of teaching provided, in many cases, equals that of Pakistan's smartest private schools. Yet the children who enrol are from the very poorest and most deprived families." - William Dalrymple, Historian and Author.

My story

Hello

Over the next few weeks, I will be taking part in a couple of challenges in order to raise funds for Friends of the Citizens' Foundation.

First, I will cycle from London to Paris and three weeks later, climb Mount Kilimanjaro

The first challenge is a 385km cycle ride over three days. I leave London on the 24th of September and after three days of cycling, arrive in Paris on the evening of the 26th of September.

This will give me approximately three weeks to recover as I fly to Tanzania on the 16th of October to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Mount Kilimanjaro's snow capped summit reaches 19,340 ft (5895m); It is the tallest mountain in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. Some of you might be aware that I suffer from vertigo so the real challenge here will be to keep my balance at the top!

All this is in aid of Friends of the Citizens' Foundation, a UK Registered charity raising funds to educate the underprivaleged children of Pakistan. As I am sure you're aware, the country is ensnared in a political and economic crisis.The government spends just over 2% of its GDP on education and it is up to us to ensure that the children of Pakistan are not neglected, particularly in these times.

I was lucky enough to visit one of the TCF schools in Pakistan earlier this year. I met with primary and secondary students as well as several of the teachers. TCF schools ensure Pakistan’s poorest children are given the opportunity to realise their true potential. 84% of pupils sitting their finals at TCF schools achieve A to C grades (well above the national average).

The target is to raise £10,000 which will cover the running cost of a primary school for a year. If you would like more information on the charity, please visit www.ftcf.org.uk or get in touch with me.

Many thanks for your support.
