Kilimanjaro Challenge with Dig Deep
I am fundraising for Dig Deep, a charity that works to unlock opportunity for communities in Kenya by ensuring access to clean water, safe toilets, and good hygiene. Their work empowers schools and communities to thrive, improving health, education, and economic outcomes. They have reached over 200,000 people since 2007 with clean water, safe toilets and good hygiene and their overall goal is to reach 1 million people by
2036.
As part of this mission, I am taking on the challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in 2026 to raise nearly £3,000 in support of Dig Deep’s life-changing projects. This initiative is not only a personal challenge but a platform to raise awareness and drive meaningful change.
