Himalayan Charity Challenge

By Lloyd Mitchell

Expired

On April 12th I am setting off for Delhi with 120 colleagues, on the start of a trip to trek 100km in the Indian Himalayan foothills. While this is an amazing personal adventure and will be a fantastic new life experience, another primary driver is to collectively raise funds that can make a difference for a worthy cause.

AED 3,700.00

About the Cause

Dubai Cares’ programs are designed to reduce, if not remove, the greatest obstacles that prevent children and young people in developing countries from attaining quality education. With each intervention, Dubai Cares evaluates the need for assistance across two key areas: 
 
Access to Education which allows Dubai Cares to improve children’s health and learning environment, increase education enrollment and attainment, increase access to education, reduce absenteeism, increase gender parity and increase promotion rates.
 
Quality of Education which enables early learning, enhances educational attainment and school progression, improves literacy and numeracy skills among children, enables teachers to access teacher training resulting in better learning outcomes, reduce dropout rates and increase primary school attainment.

Dubai Cares is a long-term advocate of safeguarding children and young people’s right to education and is currently playing a global advocacy role in spreading the knowledge about the importance of providing education to the unprivileged children.
We also champion education through research - There is an overwhelming lack of evidence as to what works to promote children’s learning in crisis-affected contexts. Research plays a pivotal role in tackling this issue.
 

My Story

Thanks for visiting my page and for contributing your valuable funds to helping children in need of improved education. With 120 of my friends and colleagues, I'm setting off for a 100km, 5 day trek across the Himalayan foothills in order to raise funds that will create a positive impact for children that need help and whose education systems are falling short of providing the service they need. I have 2 children myself, a daughter aged 11 and son 9, and therefore I know how much we value their education and the social environment that it provides. Every parent should have peace of mind that their children are being given the education that they deserve and that will set them up for the rest of their life. Thanks for your support of my colleagues and I, it is truly appreciated. Lloyd

A big thanks to our supporters
