Help us give hundreds of children a brighter future
Thinking about the future is something we at Zurich International Life encourage people to do all the time. But for orphaned or abandoned children in Africa, even the opportunity to improve their lives is something they can only dream of.
This autumn thirty Zurich employees will be attempting to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. That’s some challenge. But we’re taking on another challenge too. We’re aiming to raise £100,000 at the same time to finance a school in The Gambia for orphaned and abandoned children. We’re also raising money to support a children’s village in Arusha, Tanzania.
To help us do this, we’d like to invite you to become a sponsor of our expedition.
Sponsors will share in the publicity we aim to generate as a result of the expedition, but more importantly, all money raised will go directly to SOS Children Villages.
