Climb Mount Snowdon for Orphans – Zac and Zib

This 28th February, I will be taking on the challenge of climbing Mount Snowdon. This is not just a test of determination and endurance. It is an act of solidarity with children in Uganda who are living through daily hardships far greater than cold, snow, or exhaustion. Right now, millions of children around the world are growing up without parents, without security, and without knowing where their next meal will come from. In parts of Uganda, many orphans live in extreme poverty, forced to fend for themselves from a very young age. Without protection or education, their futures are often shaped by exploitation, dangerous labour, or abuse, simply to survive. Al-Fikr has been working in Uganda for the past five years to change this reality. In Jinja, they have built an orphanage that provides vulnerable children with food, safety, care, and education, giving them a real chance at a future. These children deserve the same hope and opportunity we want for our own. This is why I am taking on this challenge. A day in freezing temperatures, hiking through snow and ice, is nothing compared to the daily struggle these children face. Every single pound donated helps provide meals, shelter, and care. Your support can genuinely change lives, and I would be deeply grateful for your help in reaching this goal.
