Story

Please help...!!  I'm taking part in a 6 day trek in Morocco in September this year known as the High Atlas Summit Trek: which will see me (hopefully) getting to the top of one of the highest peaks in North Africa: Jebel Toukbal which stands at 4,167m (13,671ft),

The money raised will directly benefit kids in Africa. The name of the charity I am supporting is AfriKids - a child rights organisation working in Northern Ghana to alleviate acute child suffering and poverty. MY TARGET IS £2,500!!! and I have a long way to go to reach the target and limited time to do so!

They are a unique charity that passes every fundraised penny to their projects in Ghana. They also have a mission to close their UK branch by 2018 thus making their Ghana projects 100% self sustainable - meaning they do not want to continue to depend on UK charitable donations.

The charity believes that change must not breed reliance: if the solution is not sustainable, it is not development.  I therefore feel like the money I raise will really make a difference.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
