Welcome to our Fundraising Page for The Climb.
We (Léah, Juliet) are all partaking in We Are Tearfund's Emerging Influencers programme. Part of this programme entails a fundraising opportunity and, as two minds are better than one, we have decided to team up.
Our team of budding, enthusiastic fundraisers- Anna, Bethany, Jamie and Tito- have all come together to complete We Are Tearfund's The Climb challenge which will see us climb the equivalent number of stairs to our chosen mountain! Think: Kilimanjaro height! Our goal is to raise £2,000 for We Are Tearfund which is a LARGE number but we reckon with everyone donating a little amount, we can absolutely hit this target! We hope you feel inspired to donate or join us! :) In order to complete Kilimanjaro, we have to climb 152 ascents EVERYDAY for 2 weeks. 1 ascent= 15 steps.
A little bit about Tearfund: Tearfund is a Christian charity that partners with churches in more than 50 of the world’s poorest countries. They tackle extreme poverty through sustainable development. This means they equip those who need help with life-long tools and skills. For example, 65,000 people have been trained in innovative farming techniques to increase food production in Mozambique.
They answer God's call to help those in greatest need by partnering with local churches and organisations that have a crucial role to play in the places worst affected by poverty. This can include having no access to clean water. However, with the help of donations like yours, Tearfund has aided this crisis by providing 152,154 people in Burkina Faso now have improved access to clean water and sanitation facilities. This is staggering and with your donation, they can continue this amazing work!
