Crisis in Afghanistan
Campaign by Tearfund (RCN 265464)
People forced from their homes in Afghanistan need support now. Your fundraising will help save lives.

Story

Violent conflict in Afghanistan has forced around 390,000 people from their homes. Having run for their lives with little more than the clothes on their backs, they are in urgent need of support. The stories and images of the suffering that we have seen and heard have been hard to ignore.

So....during the month of September the two of us will be attempting to swim the combined width of the English Channel...no less than a total of 1,600 lengths of our local pool to raise money for Tearfund's work. 

Tearfund’s local partners are on the ground now, providing life-saving relief packages. These include food, cooking equipment and vital hygiene supplies such as soap and face masks. They’re also offering trauma support to people who have witnessed the horrific violence.

Kate is back at work full time and Mike has his hands full looking after our six month old son. Both are hoping that the other one will do the majority of the lengths over the next few weeks! Any sponsorship towards Tearfund's work, however big or small, would be hugely appreciated.
