Goal
A group of old school friends (Matt Hankin, Ryan O'Leary, Tom Smith and Edmund Brett) are gearing up for an incredible adventure to raise funds for an important cause. We will be cycling a gruelling 661km from Bidi Bidi refugee settlement to the source of the Nile in Jinja, Uganda. The aim of this incredible journey is to raise funds for HYT’s ‘One Million Litres’ project that is installing water tanks in 50 refugee schools. The tanks will serve 65,000 children with safe water.
The journey promises to be an exhilarating and challenging one as we navigate Uganda’s undulating hills, along the banks of the river Nile, through areas where elephants rule the road, and all this under the equatorial sun. We will be swapping our beds for rural Ugandan earth as we camp most nights.
However, this fundraising initiative is about much more than just the adventure. The funds raised will go towards building water tanks for refugee children who are facing extreme water scarcity. Bidi Bidi settlement is the second largest in the world, with over 230,000 refugees. The majority of these refugees are women and children who are facing numerous challenges, including lack of access to clean water.
Each 20,000 litre tank costs £1,940 to install. Our target is to pay for the construction of two tanks! (We increased our target, thank you!)
