For those of you that don’t know, the Rosie May Foundation seeks to assist in the development of sustainable projects for children in crisis.

Especially girls, in Sri Lanka and Nepal through local partners. Protection and support of children by strengthening families to prevent abandonment. Reunification of siblings and reintegration with family to break the cycle of institutionalisation. Access to quality education for the most vulnerable children to unlock potential.

Over the past twelve years, the Rosie May Foundation, has developed from a family-run charity to an international charity with a strategy to help children in crisis, especially girls.

To assist with this, I am taking part in the Yorkshire three peaks challenge.

Walking as one team we attempt to conquer the 3 spectacular fells of Whernside (736m), Ingleborough (723m) and Pen-y-Ghent (694m) that dominate the Dales skyline.

We will cover 39km and climb over 1700m within just 12 hours.

Being a child in a developing country like Sri Lanka and Nepal can be a dangerous and painful experience. A child in a country torn apart by the force of brutal nature is many times more vulnerable to exploitation, abuse and trafficking, especially a girl. Not only can their world literally be torn apart but also the devastation leaves no room for them to be children or to be nurtured and protected.
