Story

Hi lovely generous friends!

I am embarking on a 300 mile bike race (argh!!) from London to Paris starting on September 9th in order to raise money and awareness for the EJF charity

The ride will raise essential funds for EJF’s environmental and human rights work, helping promote a fairer future for the fashion industry.

Around the world, whether it is state enforced, or child trafficking, millions of children face severe exploitation in the cotton industry. In Uzbekistan, the world’s 3rd largest exporter of cotton, roughly a third of the population are forced to work in conditions near slavery for the state run cotton industry. Many are children. Schools across the country are shut down for the cotton harvest as children from the age of 7 are sent to work for weeks in the fields, paid little or nothing, but benefiting their repressive government through this forced labour.

Please help by sponsoring me as much or as little as you can afford!

Thanks, Caz xx


P.s Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Enviromental Justice Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
