Megs walks 130 miles in one month for 130 million girls out of school · 23 June 2021

Women in leadership is a female-led, community charity that supports women and girls living in poverty by ensuring their access to health, education and income. Women rely on finances from their husbands and rarely have their own jobs. We support and empower women to make their own choices in life

Story

I'm walking to lots of miles to support a fantastic charity which gets girls back into school in Uganda. 130 million girls are out of school globally - so it's a big old deal. I'd be beaming if you could throw a fiver towards tackling it by supporting WIL Uganda's work. 

I'll be walking from the 24th June to the 24th July to clock my miles. Please donate and keep up to date with the comedy of me getting lost in my new hometown, Bristol.

WIL Uganda runs programmes which help to keep mothers and girls in education. This includes free literacy programmes, empowering crafts projects,  business skills and free childcare support at the charity's village office so mothers can go to work.

Women's businesses in Africa have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, so now is an amazing time to help. Girls who get an education are less likely to marry young, and more likely to earn higher incomes which can give them more control over their futures and strengthen their countries' economies.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
