John’s story
I have been working to help educate children in the Kanungu region of SW Uganda for over 15 years now. I am a trustee of the UK charity Kirima Ltd that sends money out to Uganda every month to finance a Primary school, a Secondary school and a College. Our regular monthly income from sponsorships and donations is no longer sufficient to finance the scale of support required. The trustees and supporters have therefore decided to bolster our funds by attempting to walk 800 miles between us.
I will attempt to walk 80 miles in 8 days starting Monday 26th August 2024. This will include a 10 mile walk on Saturday 31st August with the other trustees - we will be walking form St Michael's Church, Highgate to the Ugandan High Commission in Trafalgar Square.
Two supporters have promised to match-fund all donations so whatever you give will double in value. We have no paid staff and none of your donations are spent on marketing or administration so 200% of what you give goes straight to help the children in Uganda.
From the children in Uganda, thank you for your help :)
