The Save The Children Fund - Trek to Machu Picchu, Peru · 18 October 2012 to 27 October 2012 ·
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
In October I will be joining the Mitsubishi Electric Commercial Heating team in aiming to raise £75,000 for SaveThe Children by embarking on an 8 day trek to Machu Picchu, Peru. At an altitude of 4,600m, this challenge will test the strength and endurance of the entire team, pushing boundaries and requiring teamwork at its highest level.
Save the Children work in over 120 countries worldwide, helping children in poverty in some of the poorest and most dangerous places.
Saving Children’s Lives – They help children beat deadly illnesses like pneumonia and diarrhoea. They make sure they get the food they need to survive and grow up healthy. When disasters strike, they are there saving lives.
Fighting For Their Rights – The right to life, to food and clean water, to education and protection.
Fulfilling Their Potential – They help the poorest children at home and abroad get a better start in life, and the chance to grow up and follow their dreams.
Doing Whatever It Takes To Save Children’s Lives
Every year, disasters like floods, famines and earthquakes threaten millions of children’s lives. We don’t know where the next emergency will hit, but we do know that Save the Children will be ready to act quickly, so that more children can be saved in those crucial first few days.
With around 60 million children per year affected by emergencies, the Save the Children’s Emergency Fund focuses its resources on inspiring the greatest positive impact for children.
