The school children on Benguerra Island Mozambique need your help!

The children at the school need new uniforms and I would like to raise the money to buy them. I am cycling the Cape Town Cycle Tour for the first time on 11 March 2018 and would like to do the race to raise money for this great cause.

The school was built by the Azura Rainbow Fund , our family charity, which supports this school, as well as other educational and environmental projects in Mozambique and Tanzania. I have been involved with these children since I was very small (see the photo of me and my friends below opening a new classroom by painting our handprints).

There are 450 young children at the school, who live in very basic conditions in thatched huts on the island. Getting an education can change their lives, but they have very few items of clothing. The new uniforms will cost GBP10,000 and will encourage them to keep coming to school. I would like to raise half of that through my cycle ride and then the charity will contribute the rest.

The Cape Town Cycle Tour is 110km long, with 30,000 cyclists, and is the largest timed cycle race in the world. I am turning 14 that weekend and will be one of the youngest to take part. I hope to complete the race and achieve my goal of supporting these children with your help.

The Rainbow Fund is a registered charity in Mozambique. All donations are always gratefully received. Thank you for reading my page and I hope you will support me.
