Thanks for visiting my fundraising page

My name is Satbachan, I am 28 and work in the banking industry.  I keep busy in my spare time with hiking, badminton, eating good food and chilling with friends and family while we eat more food :)

MY CHALLENGE: KILIMANJARO

In the last few months, I have set my sights on a new project - the #NishkamChallenge Kilimanjaro trek - climbing the largest freestanding mountain in the world.  

WHY?

This is important part - we are trying to save lives of mothers and babies in Kenya.  I was shocked and moved when I found out the horrible truth about conditions in Africa.      

That is why I am raising funds for the maternity ward in the Kericho District Hospital in Kenya - and YES, I NEED YOUR SUPPORT.

My parents spent most of their lives in Africa, this also made me feel closer to the country, it’s people and the problems that have - I wanted to make a difference.  

THE PROBLEM:

Kericho District Hospital is in the heart of the community- it desperately needs new facilities and equipment.  I was shocked to learn that babies and mothers die in this hospital as they do not have proper facilities.  

As someone who was born and raised in the UK, on a daily basis, there is so much that I take for granted.  I mean, I was shocked to learn about the issues that the Africans have to deal with for processes and treatments that we consider to be routine - babies and mothers die for things that we all take for granted in the UK - I was heartbroken.  

WHAT AM I DOING ABOUT IT?

As I mentioned, I am committed to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and am doing LOTS of training to make sure that I successfully complete this challenge.   

Previously, I have also climbed:

• Three peaks challenge - the three tallest mountains in the UK in 24 hours!

• Climb of Scafell Pike on 22/10/2016

• Night trek of Snowdon on 05/11/2016

And in the coming weeks I am doing MANY more climbs and lots of training.
