Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've never done anything like this before, so throwing myself down the side of a clock tower to raise money for this fab charity is as good a reason as any to abseil for the first time.

Spotlight on Africa is a local charity that is passionate about making a lasting difference. They currently work in urban and rural slums in Eastern Uganda where many people have been displaced from their homes by decades of conflict. Not only are these people impoverished by losing their land and their livelihoods, but the basic infrastructure we take for granted ‐ education, health care, and clean water ‐ is largely absent.

Spotlight on Africa believe that sustainable impact can only be achieved by integrating these key areas, and their philosophy is that development should be just that, DEVELOPMENT NOT DEPENDENCE. They fund initiatives that are identified and owned by the ultimate beneficiaries and do not duplicate aid efforts; they collaborate, not compete.
