The Microloan Foundation is an established microfinance NGO. It makes small loans to groups of women in rural areas of Africa with a focus on those who are most in need. The small loans together with business training and mentoring help clients to develop small businesses and increase their financial independence. Since 2002 the MicroLoan Foundation has helped over 16,000 women work their way out of poverty and create a better life for themselves and their families.

The challenge, which will run from 30th September to 8th October, is an 8-day event which includes 3 days trekking in the Mulanje massif, camping in mountain huts, a day in the rural villages near Lake Malawi meeting staff and clients of the MLF and seeing first hand the impact of fundraising.
