My Story
I am Karim, a final year pharmacology student🧪
I have took on a big challenge to climb Kilimanjaro🗻 to raise money to help with sanitation problems in Kenya 🇰🇪.
as charity work and hiking are both things I like I've decided to take this challenge on... even better as a team leader with Alix!
I'm very greatful for any donations at all, so thank you so much 😄
I am taking on the challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak and the world's highest freestanding mountain. I am doing so to support Dig Deep who believe every resident in Kenya has a fundamental right to access clean water, safe toilets and good hygiene.
Dig Deep work in Bomet County, Kenya, home to 1 million people and one of the most underserved and least resourced areas of the country. Here, 2 out of 3 people don't have clean water, over half don't have safe toilets and children don't have access to basic hygiene education.
Through helping children and their families to realise their right to clean water, safe toilets and good hygiene, your support will save lives, improve education, empower women and girls and strengthen livelihoods.
For more information visit www.digdeep.org.uk
My overall fundraising target is £2990
50% of which goes directly to accelerating access to water, sanitation and good hygiene in Bomet County, Kenya
50% of which goes towards my expedition costs (not including flights, I am paying for these myself)
Any support to help me reach my target is greatly appreciated, thank you!
