We work with indigenous partners to tackle global poverty and injustice

Story

I have kept this quiet these past months but I am currently undertaking a charity trek to Everest Base Camp in March 2018. The trip is entirely self funded by myself. I have also committed to raising donations for 2 charities: Kopila Nepal and The Surf Project. If you get spare any donations to these 2 great causes it would be greatly appreciated. Will keep everybody updated on progress!

The Trek will involve 14 consecutive days trekking in the Everest region of the Himalayas up to an altitude of 5,545m. Participants will pay for the entire cost of participating in this challenge of a lifetime themselves meaning that all fundraised money will go towards chosen charity projects, Kopila Nepal and The Surf Project.
Kopila is a Nepali charity working with disadvantaged women in rural Nepal helping them to become independent through literacy classes, micro-credit schemes and providing training and advocacy so that these women can obtain their rights from local government.
The Surf Project are a mission project of the with the focus of enhancing the personal, social, physical and Spiritual wellbeing of young people through surfing and living life to the full.
I am so grateful for all donations big and small and look forward to updating you all on the details of the Everest trip.
