Charity donation - sorry
Hello all😊You won't be aware but I started a charity at the back end of last year to help the people of Guinea-Bissau, it all started with a Facebook friend request which you can read more about here.https://www.actionguineabissau.org.uk/post/how-it-startedI’m sure everyone gets requests for donations all the time and I apologise for being yet another person doing the same but I’m really trying to make a difference to the lives of some of the poorest people on the planet, your money won’t be going to a charity that has huge costs etc, every penny will go towards supporting projects in Guinea Bissau.Since we started the charity we’ve raised and spent £10k on a few different projects, such as:• Bringing back into use 9 village wells• Refurbishing 6 village toilets• Worked with local environmental groups to buy 300 trees to be planted around the capital and maintained by local families• Buying land and providing tools for locals to grow food• A clear up operation in the port to remove tonnes of waste that had accumulated over the past few years• Funding 4 scholarships for women in university• Funding 5 successful women-led micro-credit businessesYou can see some more details of the work that’s been done here:https://www.actionguineabissau.org.uk/project-galleryFor our next projects we're aiming to refurbish three schools, each of which have to close during the rainy season meaning kids either can't go to school or have to undergo a 14km round trip each day on foot to continue their studies. To raise money for these projects i’m subjecting myself to another 100km non-stop walk from London to Brighton in May and so of course this post is a shameless attempt to generate cold hard cash!If you would like to help out then the link to donate is :https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/matt-palmer-agbAbsolutely any amount you can give, no matter how small will be really appreciated!Thanks a lot, Matt
