If, after Christmas, your New Year’s resolution is likely to be to walk more, then Global Care has an opportunity to use that plan to simultaneously raise money for vulnerable children living in Uganda.
Funds raised through ‘50 miles in 30 days’ will enable children to have access to more scholastic materials, textbooks, learning aids and items to benefit their education. Schools with whom the charity works will each be given a grant from the profits, and can spend the money on resources or needs of their choice.
Global Care’s John White said: ‘It’s not uncommon for children … to walk many miles every day just to get to school. It’s one of the many barriers these vulnerable children have to overcome just to be able to receive an education. Walking throughout January in solidarity with these children will help raise valuable funds for our partner schools.’
