We are climbing a mountain (cycling 'The Octopus' up & down Leith Hill eight times as closest thing we have to a mountain in Surrey) in solidarity with the people of West Papua and to support the work of Papua Partners. Funds raised will go to support communities and organisations in Papua to improve rural education and health for over 8000 people; support environmental champions who are protecting their communities; accompany and resource young men and women who are on the front lines of stopping violence against women, human rights abuses and building healthy non-violent communities; and invest in green businesses to help build sustainable futures for families and communities.The Land of West Papua and the Indigenous West Papuan people are increasingly threatened by environmental destruction, militarisation, human rights abuses, a shutdown of free speech as well as rampant corruption leaving West Papuans poor and marginalised in their own land. Women and children suffer the most with very poor access to health and education and high levels of violence against women. Thank you !
