Mt Kenya Climb
Two Excellent Development supporters, James Docherty and Camilo Casas, have started their climb of Mt Kenya to raise funds to combat drought in Kenya.
Their target is to raise £5,199: equal to £1 for each metre they will be climbing. You can help them here. James explains: “In 2005 I worked in Kenya alongside community groups in partnership with Excellent Development Kenya. I saw for myself how sand dams create a local supply of clean water and change people’s lives. Since then, the area has experienced a prolonged drought, and any rains that have come have been small, sporadic and insufficient to generate a harvest. In many cases the sand dam water is a real lifeline, but for many communities, particularly those without sand dams, the situation is critical, with vast areas now dependent upon food aid to survive. I feel that if the communities are to survive this drought and future droughts we must continue to raise awareness and funds so Excellent Development can support more people to build sand dams. This will be the biggest challenge of my life and I hope that you can find whatever you can to donate to the cause. Anything you can give will be immensely appreciated.
