On 17th May, I've been persuaded to join a London to Paris bike ride to raise funds for the Keframa School Build - a charity that aims to build a secondary school for 500 children in Lira, Northern Uganda.

With your support I will be hoping to complete the 180 mile journey in 3 days to help raise funds to complete construction. Having grown up in the flattest part of the UK, training will see me learn to use gears on a bike for the first time ever and do my first hills on a bike - so it will definitely be a challenge!

We've set ourselves an ambitious target as a team of raising £10,000. Please support wherever you can for this amazing cause and help me reach my individual fundraising goal which will feed in to our overall team page.

Please choose gift aid if you are a UK tax payer. Gift Aid is a tax relief allowing UK charities to reclaim an extra 25% in tax on every eligible donation made by a UK taxpayer.

I've included some background information about the charity below.

Thanks in advance for your support for such a wonderful cause.

Keframa School Build:

Education, hope and a future. Three things every Ugandan child wants. Three things the Keframa School Build seeks to provide.

Whilst primary education is relatively accessible in Uganda, the means for secondary school are difficult to come by. The area is deprived of sustainable secondary education for low-income families, and it is still recovering from the impact of the Lord’s Resistance Army, where there are high levels of subsistence living.

The Keframa School Build aims to facilitate and provide:

- Quality education to a greater number of students (current capacity 200).

- A reliable source of education and remove possibility of school closure.

- A safe and secure environment with
clean water and sanitation, as well as facilities for female students to
improve the health and wellbeing of the students.

- Gender equality by keeping the female population above 50% and providing appropriate support and education to
reduce dropout rates.
