Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In preparation for Mount Kilimanjaro later this year, I am doing the Kilimanjaro Stair Challenge, which, in essence, is climbing the same height as the mountain.  I will complete this over the course of 10 days - 102 flights of stairs per day - beginning on Friday 26 June. 

We are aiming to raise funds for EdUkaid, a small charity which operates in the rural Mtwara region of southern Tanzania. improving access to education for some of the country’s most disadvantaged children through simple, low cost, sustainable and embedded interventions.  We make lasting changes by improving the provision and quality of education working in partnership with local communities and other key stakeholders.  Since 2003, and with limited resources.

EdUKaid has improved the lives of over 17,000 of the most disadvantaged children at the same time empowering their teachers, families and wider communities to take positive action to change the future for generations of children to come. 

Supporting particularly remote and isolated communities, EdUKaid has developed effective and scalable solutions collaboratively with local stakeholders, which enable them to meet the fundamental challenges they face - widening educational access for the most disadvantaged children in a sustainable way.    

Get involved! Join me in the challenge, dress up, get the family involved, fun for all!
