Climb Kilimanjaro · 12 March 2009

The Nasio Trust is a UK registered charity and Kenyan NGO which supports orphaned and vulnerable children and empowers communities to break the cycle of poverty. Established over 20 years ago, our community-based approach is aimed at providing a holistic solution to tackling the root causes of poverty through education, healthcare, psychosocial support, food security and income generation. Our Philosophy. We believe children should not grow up in institutions like orphanages, where they are isolated from society because of poverty, sickness, disease or death of parents. Children should live in a loving family with dignity without being stigmatised by the cause of their vulnerability.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I've been convinced by my better half that hauling myself 5,891 metres to the top of a mountain would be a really good experience. I also thought i'd better achieve something memorable before i turn 30 and make my mummy proud. Besides my own reasons for wanting to climb Kili the money raised goes to the NASIO TRUST. The trust provides day care and an education for HIV and AIDS orpahans in a small region of KENYA.

I appreciate times are hard for everyone (unless you're one of my mates that works for western power) and if you're a copper reading this the thought of parting with your hard earned is probably making you feel light headed and sweaty, but any donation is going to make a big difference for a child who has not had the opportunity to provide for themselves. Plus the closer i get to my target the more likely it is I'm actually going to have to follow through with this and kill myself climbing up a big rock.

I'm going to be putting money towards the trip myself, and be assured you're money wont be sending me on a jolly to Africa, it'll be lots of hard work both before and during the trip. 

So please dig deep and sponsor me!
