Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraiser page.

Please help to motivte us by sponsoring us through five physically and mentally exerting challenges!

We are undertaking 2 half marathons, a 1 mile swim, a sky dive and 'The Three Peak Challenge in 24 hours' in order to raise money to support Malawi Healthcare.

Malawi:  1 in 5 children never see their 5th birthday.  Adult life expectancy is 39-45 years. 80% of Malawians live in rural areas.   HIV, Malaria, Cholera, various infections and ther illnessess contribute to this. 

How your money can help:

Public Health Education Campaign:  To pay for two Health Surveillance Assistants to visit local churches to talk about a variety of public health issues such as HIV, Malaria, Hygiene costs £10 per training session.

Drug Revolving Fund:  Medicines are purchased from the district pharmacy and sold to patients by trained volunteers. Ripple Africa need money for training and to expand the programme.  £5 pays for two mosquito nets, £6 pays for basic medicines for 50 patients.

Bicycle Ambulances:  We want to raise money to buy bicycle ambulances.  In rural areas they are an ideal solution to getting patients to the nearest health centre. £230 each.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: RIPPLE Africa 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.

So please sponsor us now!  For five challenges, in return we could be helping the one in five children that don't get the opportunity to enjoy something we take for granted...life!

Thank you so much,

Jo, Lauren and Bryn  xx
