Story

 

Thank you for visiting my Just Giving page, I'm raising money for my charity Craft Aid UK.  Every penny you donate is going towards finishing the building of our rural clinic, and getting it up and running.

Kammengo Ffunvu, Uganda, is in desperate need of a clinic to deal with the basic first aid of the villagers and to provide access to life saving ARV's to those suffering with HIV.  Currently, the nearest clinic is 8 miles away - with no access to transport the villagers have to walk this distance, which is virtually impossible for most of the villagers and in particular, the children, elderly and sick of which there are many.  

The clinic will start small with a basic nurse service with the aim of eventually building up to provide a GP service. Craft Aid UK take no administration costs from their donations, so every penny you donate goes straight to where it is needed.

For me climbing Kilimanjaro will be qiuite a challenge, as I'm not particularly exercise-minded! Making it to 6000 metres is going to take pretty much everything I've got - but knowing that I'm raising money by doing it will provide a huge incentive to reach the top.  

Please give whatever you can. I'll be sure to send updates to everyone that donates so you can see where your hard earned cash is being spent, and it will be possible for you to track my progress up the mountain when we're there. If you fancy joining me, there are still spaces to be taken on the trip too!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.  Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to Craft Aid UK and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for Craft Aid UK.

So please dig deep and donate now.
