Trek Sri Lanka , 1 April 2022
Their Future Today works to provide solutions through family strengthening, empowerment, education and training to prevent child abandonment, and influences systematic change to end the harmful institutionalisation of 14,000 children in Sri Lanka.

Story

My main purpose is to raise funds to support vulnerable women and children in Sri Lanka. My target was to raise £10,000 for Stage 1 of my trek (now achieved), and then a further £10,000 for Stage 2 (now achieved) & then another £10,000 for Stage 3 in 2024 (now achieved). I've now increased the target by a further £10k for my forthcoming trek of The Pekoe Trail.
