Raising money for

War Child

Charity Registration No. 1071659

War Child is an international child protection agency that works with the most marginalised children - child soldiers, street kids and children in prison - in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. War Child believes it is unacceptable that children continue to be victims of war. In the last decade alone 1.5 million children have died in wars. Four million have been disabled and a further 10 million traumatised. We provide vital, on the ground support programmes in each of the conflict zones we work in but also lobby politicians and governments to ensure our cause and the rights of children affected by war remains high on the public and political agendas. This approach allows us to ensure every pound we receive goes as far as possible - not only to the crucial projects in the field, but to ensuring children caught up in conflict, no matter where they may be, have a chance to be protected. We work where other agencies do not, reaching the most at risk children in the most dangerous war zones and your support means we can continue to do so. War Child looks forward to a world in which war is not prosecuted on children.

My story

Hello All,

After many years of marvelling at others’ efforts & achievements, we have finally decided to get off the fence and do our small part to raise a bit of cash for what we both feel is an extremely worthy cause.

At 4,167 metres, it is the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains andNorth Africa. Whilst some of you may be disappointed to hear that the mountain is not particularly noted for its mortality rate and despite our extreme athleticism, it should still provide a worthy test of our mettle. Please give generously.

Many Thanks,

Mark & Sham
