My story

 

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

The first leg of CWMF’s epic ”Walk to Rwanda” will begin on June 4th 2008, with a leisurely summer stroll along the Thames, covering the six-or-thereabouts miles from Putney Bridge to St. Thomas’s Hospital, by Westminster bridge. The CWMF trustees will be joined in this Rwanda Meander by friends and supporters of the Charlotte Wilson Memorial Fund, for this first stage of our most ambitious fundraising effort yet.  

The idea behind the "Walk to Rwanda" is a very simple one - through a series of sponsored events over the next few years, we are aiming to walk (or run, or bike, or perhaps even swim) the 4,109 miles from London to Kigali in Rwanda, raising money for CWMF’s education, health and peacebuilding projects in Rwanda and neighbouring Burundi. Every mile walked counts towards our total - so everyone who takes part will be helping us make a difference.

Here are some examples of the work that The Charlotte Wilson Memorial Fund has supported in the past:

- bursaries to secondary school students, orphans in particular

- building a new nursery and secondary school science laboratory

- providing educational materials such as books, musical instruments, etc

- raising AIDS awareness through workshops and leaflets

- educating street children and help them reintegrate into society

- peacebuilding projects in Burundi

The funds we raise will help to ensure that such worthwhile work can continue into the future. So please sponsor us now!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Charlotte Wilson Memorial Fund 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.
