ROUTE

On March 25th, I will start a solo cycling trek across Africa, from Cairo, Egypt to Cape Town, South Africa, approximately 11,000km’s in length. I’ll be stopping at the lowest point in the continent (Lac Assal, Djibouti), and the highest point in the continent (Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania) along the way. I’m doing this as an effort to raise funds for the non-profit organization charity: water.

charity: water

While taking a Social Entrepreneurship class at Okanagan College in 2019, I was introduced to a not-for-profit organization called charity: water. This organization operates all over the globe with the goal of providing sustainable water projects to impoverished areas who have no access to clean water. 

771 million people in the world live without clean water. To date, charity: water has funded 79,136 water project, over 29 countries, serving 13,203,945 people.

Every water project is GPS coordinated, so you can see exactly where the money raised is being utilized around the world. Private donors called “The Well” cover all of charity: water’s operating costs, so 100% of funds donated goes straight towards funding clean water projects.
