Hi Thnaks for visiting. 

This December I will be walking 80KM through wartorn Iraq. In the day it is scorching hot and below freezing at night. We will be sleeping roadside in makeshift tents for 4 days.

The money you sponsor will bring light into 4000 homes in villages around Karbala who currently have no access to electricity. The lighting of their homes will enable the family to be safer in the dark, avoid inhalation of diesel fumes indoors, burns due to naked flames and allow children to study after dark. Through LFT (a UK based charity who take 0% commission) all your donations will go directly to funding this project:

£150 helps in fabrication and maintenance of one solar lantern in a poor rural household – that’s just £2 per kilometre of the walk.

£300 pays for the installation and maintenance of one fixed solar lighting unit in a rural non-electrified household – that’s just £4 per kilometre of the walk.

£600 trains 4 people to install and maintain solar panels for households in 6 months – that’s just £8 per kilometre of the walk.

But any amount - even a couple of pounds - the price of a cup of coffee - would be greatfully recieved. Thanks so much,
