Starting on International Women’s Day on 8 March 2024, we’ll be walking/running 7.000 miles in just 6 weeks all the way from Inverclyde to the top of the world - Everest Base Camp in Nepal. We’ll be tracking our progress virtually online.

We plan to celebrate International Women’s Day 2024 by raising funds to support Aid for Education, a small , volunteer-led charity based in Inverclyde, Scotland. Founded in 2010, Aid for Education helps transform the lives of impoverished children and communities in Eastern Rwanda.

So far the charity has:

● Built Tubarere Nursery and Primary School since 2017 which now provides education to around 300 children;

● Set up a farming cooperative to provide women with the opportunity to earn money; and

● Established a microfinance initiative, targeted to women who have no income.

Our goal is to raise money towards the cost of buying a minibus for Tubarere Nursery and Primary School.

Many of the children who now attend the school have to walk a long distance from their homes in the surrounding villages each day, often arriving late to school or not all during the rainy season.
