Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I feel absolutely passionate about the right every young woman should have to feel safe whilst completing their daily ablutions.  Their washing place should not only be safe, but also provide them with the means to ensure they are able to wash well and keep themselves clean.  This is what so many of us just take for granted, however for our girls, many have never had the opportunity to wash in warm water, to have the dignity of washing in private and most of all in feeling safe and secure in their setting.  With the ACEF team we want to change all of this for our young girls and later on for our boys.  However, I need your help in making this a reality.

In April we are going out to build solar heated showers for the girls, repurposing the old toilet block and we need to raise an additional £1,000 to make all the difference in how we deliver these showers for the girls.  

If everyone one of my family, friends and colleagues just donated £9 over the next three months - we would easily hit this target and even more.  Three pounds is less than a glass of wine or a pint of beer .... please consider donating £3 a month for the next three months and really help us make a significant difference to our young girls.

Thank you so much for taking the time to think this through and where possible supporting us in this challenge.
