I'm going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and raise money for a noble cause in the process.
I will be donating a significant amount myself and would love if you did too. I have already covered the full costs of my trip and climb so 100% of your donation will go straight to the charity. Better yet, I have managed to get Google to match the donations for double impact! :)
The charity I have selected to raise funds for is the Blue
Dragon Children's Foundation. They are a highly successful
and super professionally-run organisation working exclusively in
Vietnam. They have four main programs/areas of work:
- Step Ahead — providing comprehensive range of services to children in crisis and their families, including emergency shelter, health care, food and legal support
- Stay in School — working with local schools and authorities in the Bac Ninh Province (poorest province in Northeast Vietnam) to identify the poorest families and develop plans for the children to attend school in their home villages
- Safe and Sound — working with local police in Hue and Dien Bien Provinces to rescue victims of trafficking for child labour. Blue Dragon rescues these children directly out of the sweatshops where they are being held in slavery. They ensure trafficked children return home to their families and offer long-term counselling and school support
- Project X — rescuing girls and young women trafficked to the sex trade. There is no other organisation in Vietnam that rescues girls and young women directly from the places of sexual slavery.

I'm passionate about the topics of children and education, and
despite having lived abroad for 22 years I still hold Vietnam close to
my heart — this trip and fundraiser are my way of contributing to
Vietnam. Your joining me on this journey would mean a lot.
Thanks so much in advance for your kindness and support, and for
improving lives of thousands of children and women in Vietnam!
All the best,
Bach
