Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.
From 15th January until 15th March, 2013, Euromoney Institutional Investor's has a group-wide campaign to shed some weight and/or become "dry-athletes" by giving up alcohol for a good cause. Make a donation as a pledge to shed pounds for Africa, or become a "dry-athlete" and donate your drinking money to Africa, and/or ask your colleagues, friends and family to support you.
Euromoney Institutional Investor have pledged to match all donations up to a total of £5,000 - so let's do what we can!
Euromoney have supported Haller over the past 2 years by providing water security and sanitation facilities to 3 communities near Mombasa, Kenya impacting approx. 3,500 people. Previously, these communities had to walk approx. 4 hours to the nearest source of water, making it impossible to grow crops. The Shed A Pound For Africa campaign will help these communities to receive additional farmer training to regenerate their land and maximise the potential that access to water has provided them. The farmers will be able to grow sufficient crops to ensure food security and to sell surplus harvests for an income. These combined initiatives will help the communities achieve sustainable livelihoods by having water and food security as well as an income.
Don't weight!
