Doha and Back for Street Child United, 8 February 2021
Engage are kicking off 2021 by fundraising to support SCU with an ambitious, physical challenge we are calling Doha & back. We will be taking on a virtual walk from our office location in Yeovil to Doha to raise funds for our charity partner

Story

We want to raise funds for Street Child United as a part of a larger initiative organised by school management information system business, Engage. The company is already approaching £50,000 in its corporate donations but our staff team, based from around the world, wanted additionally assist Street Child United with its pandemic-affected funding, to assist the costs of getting football teams of street children from around the world for their own 2022 World Cup in Doha.

To do so we are walking, running and cycling the more than 18,000 kilometres to Doha and back and we'd appreciate your support to raise our individual target of £1000 and the overall company team target of £10,000. 

See here for our team progress on the walk – https://engagesmis.bigteamchallenge.com/progress

Past experience demonstrates the Street Child World Cup in 2022 will lead to incredible outcomes for the children participating – but it will equally raise important media attention on the key issues street connected young people face all around the world. Giving these children a voice is central to Street Child United's work as they campaign for access to education, protection from violence, birth identity and gender equality.

Although we aim to break some personal walking records during the 12 weeks of this attempt, our efforts will be modest compared to the street children we want to support. We will walk in clean and comfortable clothes, knowing we are loved by all around us and return home from our endeavours to a warm and secure house.

Anything you can do to help us raise our £1000 and beat it would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Kim and Michelle
