Welcome to my fundraising page for an extraordinary expedition to the North Pole! This September, together with "Women On A Mission," I will embark on a 12-day challenge through the Arctic's most remote landscapes, kayaking among icy fjords, hiking across glaciers, sleeping in a tent and carrying a bear watch!

However, this expedition isn't about pushing our physical boundaries but about empowerment . We partner with Women for Women to raise awareness and funds to support women survivors of war in Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine, and Palestine.

100% of your donations go directly to the charity.

By supporting our cause, you're contributing to a life-changing program, "Stronger Women, Stronger Nations," that creates small groups of women to help them break the isolation of war and conflict. Together, they learn to manage finances, build businesses, understand their rights, improve their health, and change societal rules.

What your donations can do:

£29 could buy five chickens for a program participant to feed her family and sell extra eggs to generate income and invest in expanding her flock.

£46 could buy a tailoring toolkit for a woman in the tailoring track, equipping her to set up a business and provide an income for her family.

£254 for Social Empowerment training, where women learn about their rights on critical issues like domestic violence, voting, access to land, divorce, and child custody.

£520 could buy ten agriculture toolkits, providing women with the tools and equipment to grow agricultural products for food or to generate income.

£1,000 could provide critical psychosocial support to ten women who have experienced unimaginable physical, emotional, and sexual violence.
