Story

Dear family & friends,  

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In October 2019, I will be traveling with HER Planet Earth's all-female team from around the globe on a 100km trek across Northern Kenya’s remote Matthews range.  

The trail has never been attempted before and by foot we will embark with a camel train on a new passage across the mountains. 

We will be trekking along tough but varied terrain, including sandy river beds, ancient elephant tracks, old growth forest, plains and hilly peaks. 

The expedition will range at altitudes from 3,500ft to 5,000ft (or 1,000 to 1,600 metres) and in daily temperatures that could fluctuate between 10 to 30 degrees Centigrade. 

The team will be up before sunrise, walking 5-6 hours every day to reach the next camp and can expect to see big game on the walking safari. 

The expedition is in support of Conservation International (CI), a charity that works to protect nature for the benefit of humanity.

Besides preserving nature and wildlife ecosystems, funds raised will be used to benefit local communities; providing them a voice and platform for development of sustainable enterprises and family livelihoods. 

Please note that HER Planet Earth teammates have self-funded their personal travel expenses for the expedition and that all donations raised will go directly to support Conservation International's efforts.

For context, here's a list of where your donation will be channeled:

  • A girl's monthly school bursary - US$83
  • A female elephant keeper's monthly salary - US$230
  • A female ranger's monthly salary - US$241
  • BeadWORKS 2-day training workshop for 30 women - US$500
  • The monthly cost of an orphaned elephant - US$1667
  • BeadWORKS workshop training material - US$2000

Your generous donations for an incredible cause would mean so much to all of us at HER Planet Earth and Conservation International.

If you've come this far, many thanks again from the bottom of my heart.

About the charity

We know that human beings are totally dependent on nature — and that by saving nature, we’re saving ourselves. To that end, CI is helping to build a healthier, more prosperous and more productive planet. We do this through science, policy, and partnerships with countries, communities and companies. Over the years, CI has helped support 1,200 protected areas and interventions across 77 countries, safeguarding more than 601 million hectares of land, marine and coastal areas.​​ Our work is moving entire societies toward a healthier, more sustainable development path — so that we don’t use up today what we’re going to need tomorrow. At CI, we don’t focus on one sector or one issue. And we’re not interested in short-term fixes. Instead, building upon a foundation of science, partnership and field work, we find global solutions to global problems.​​ We measure success in human terms. Our ultimate goal is to protect the most fundamental things that nature provides to all of us: our food, our fresh water, our livelihoods and a stable climate. Nature doesn’t need people - people need nature.
