Fundraising for young girls sanitary facilities, 23 October 2022

Story

Hello Everyone - Thank you for all donations made so far, and any that are due to made.

As you all know, I travelled back to the Republic of Guinea from the 2nd-14th October 2022 to complete, and open, toilet facilities for the young girls at the primary school, and a basketball court.

URBOND’s main message is about continuity. That is why returning to the same school is so important to me. Whilst there, the teams ran individual menstruation workshops, English lessons, and hundreds of toothbrushes and toothpaste.

The basketball court was kindly sponsored by my previous employer Richmond Motor Group, with the extreme generosity from their General Manager, Sam Nobes.

All donations go straight to funding the projects, and all travel costs, plane tickets, accommodation, and everything else comes directly from my own pocket.

Thank you again for any donation.
