Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

In February 2019, I will be joining  the expedition team of Her Planet  Earth to trek across the world's largest cave, Son Doong, in the heart of Central Vietnam.

This is an expedition unlike any other, less people have seen the inside of the Son Doong Cave than have stood on the summit of Mount Everest!

The objective of the expedition is to raise awareness & funds for
underprivileged women affected by climate change in Vietnam. Due to stereotyped, gender-defined roles in society, Vietnamese women are amongst those most likely to carry the heaviest burdens and suffer from environmental degradation. 

The cost of this expedition is fully self-funded and every cent you donate will go directly to support the marginalized Vietnamese women via UN Women Vietnam.

You will play a key role in ensuring these Vietnamese women have access to the same basic rights you and I enjoy and sometimes take for granted.

HOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND HOW EVERY
DOLLAR COUNTS

$42 a year helps a female farmer adapt her agricultural production into a climate-resilient one through technical training, on-field guidance, advanced farming tools & technologies, access to knowledge & services, and the establishment of a network of cooperatives.

$49 a year helps a landless woman transition from a day labourer to a disaster-resilient livelihood through training on new skills, grants to start up their own sustainable businesses, gain access to women's groups among farmers that share resources (such as microloans for income-generating activities).

$126 gives a female farmer a chance to start adapting
her agricultural production and make it climate-smart in 3 years.

$147 gives a landless woman a chance to move away from a seasonal job frequently affected by disasters and build a new sustainable livelihood - all within 3 years.

I would hugely appreciate your support and all donations big or small are gratefully received.
