Story

Hi everyone!

 

This summer I will be heading out to Kenya to work on some great development projects. The money I raise will go towards building a well and my own work teaching in schools.

 

Half of all the money I raise is going to an amazing charity called Dig Deep, to build an environmentally sustainable well which will supply water for 8,000 people. At the moment the women and children have to walk 12 miles to a water source and are highly vulnerable to human and animal attack, especially from big cats. Dig Deep is run entirely by unpaid volunteers, so at least £1,200 of the money I raise will go solely on the construction of the well.  http://digdeep.org.uk/

 

The other £1200 goes towards running teaching projects in Kenya for about five weeks. We will be teaching in two schools, Majimoto and Naroosura, in the Narok region run by the charity World Concern, who really need volunteers to keep these schools running. We will be working with the charity Africa Hope and with local community leader Agnes Pareyio (UN Woman of the Year 2005), who will make sure everything we do is best for the community.

I really appreciate your support and if you can spare anything at all for this cause it will make a huge difference. 

 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and, if you'll excuse the pun, please dig deep and donate!
