On Saturday 8th May, Marie and myself will be climbing Blencathra
in the Lake District as part of PHASE Worldwide’s Walk for Nepal event.

I am hugely excited and proud to say that the event forms part of PHASE Worldwide’s first ever UK Aid Match appeal. Up until 25^th June, all donations made will be matched by the UK Government. £1 = £2 towards our important work in Nepal. Your support will have double the impact.

We will be walking to empower 1,000 women and their children. The
appeal will fund a three-year project which will improve maternal healthcare, livelihoods, and nutrition to ensure that women can give their children a strong start in life.

• A £10 donation, doubled to £20, could pay for 12 Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs) to receive training in maternal healthcare, enabling them to support mothers in giving their children a strong start in life.  
• A £13 donation, doubled to £26, could pay for two antenatal care
  meetings, providing women with advice on topics such as emotional and physical health during pregnancy. 
• A donation of £45, doubled to £90, could pay for 40 chicks
  and poultry rearing training with an agricultural technician for one woman, giving her the opportunity to develop her skills and provide a healthy and balanced diet for her entire family.  

We hope you consider supporting us, and in turn, support women to
be stronger, confident, and more resilient long into the future.
