My Story

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 - an award-winning international development charity securing clean water, safe sanitation & good hygiene for the one million people of Bomet County, Kenya.

This morning, you may have turned on the tap without a second thought - yet in places like Bomet County, Kenya, clean water, safe sanitation & good hygiene are still out of reach for most families.

Famous for producing Olympian runners and world-class coffee and tea, Bomet is also a place where two out of three people lack clean water, safe sanitation & good hygiene. As a result, waterborne disease remains one of the leading killers of children under five. Beyond the immediate health crisis, time lost to sickness and the long walks to fetch water mean children miss school and parents lose vital income. And the burden falls heaviest on women and girls.

To change this, Dig Deep are working hand in hand with local communities, business and the Kenyan government to serve Bomet's one million people - half of whom are children. Together, they are determined to ensure every child and their family gain lasting access to clean water, safe sanitation & good hygiene.

My overall fundraising target is £2990:

50% of which supports transforming access to water, sanitation and good hygiene in Bomet County, Kenya. This I aim to raise through charity work and hosting events.

50% of which goes towards my expedition costs (not including flights, I am paying for these myself) which I will be raising through commissions in my work , selling my clothes etc.

Any support to help me reach my target is greatly appreciated, thank you!
