Thank you so much for visiting my justgiving page! I am walking/running 100K along the Ridgeway national trail in 2 days camping overnight and my aim is to raise £500 for Vodafone Foundation to take a stand against gender inequality and #ShineALight for girls.
I didn't know 130 million girls remain out of school and 1 in 3 girls will experience abuse in her lifetime until now!
#ShineALight for girls is raising funds to address some of the most challenging issues affecting girls in the UK and Europe today, and every penny you donate will go straight to Vodafone Foundation’s Girl Fund, a restricted fund dedicated to supporting charitable programmes that improve girls’ access to education, informal learning and health services in countries where Vodafone operates.
Supporting girls affected by period poverty through The Red Box Project: We’re addressing period poverty because across the UK, a staggering one in ten girls have been unable to afford menstrual products, and 49% have missed school because of their period. Financial barriers to products and taboos around menstruation are hampering girls' education and future opportunities. Learn more at www.redboxproject.org
Please donate as little or as much as you can to support this charity and also to motivate me on that loooong walk! This is my first ever fundraising for a charity and I'm positively scared of this challenge! I really appreciate everyone's support! :)
