Sky Dive · 21 July 2023

We believe that quality of life begins at home. The conditions under which you live have a tremendous impact on your expectations, your concerns & your priorities. Working in central Uganda we provide a hand-up for vulnerable families in desperate housing need.

Story

On July 21st I will do a 10,000ft Sky Dive over Salisbury Plain to raise money for a housebuilding project in Uganda. I have never done a sky dive before as I have a major fear of heights!

Over the last 10 years I have been sponsoring Miriam through her schooling in Uganda with 'You Can Africa' https://www.facebook.com/youcanafrica

Octaviah has worked for 'You Can Africa' as the project co-ordinator ever since I have been involved. 2022 & 2023 have been difficult years for her due to her husband’s brain tumour and poor harvest.

Octaviah plays a vital role in the local community and with your help I would like to raise the funds to build her family a new home. In return for this she has offered to sacrifice 65% of her salary for 3 years and put it into tried-and-tested agricultural business initiatives that parents of the 'You Can Africa' child sponsorship programme will benefit from.

Please dig deep and donate and enjoy me being thrown out of a plane!!
