The Annual Eid Hike: Jurassic Coast
Join us on an Empathos Charity Annual Fundraising Hike in collaboration with City, King's College London, Middlesex, Queen Mary’s, Royal Holloway, SOAS, St George’s and Westminster ABsocs - as we take on the Jurassic Coasts in Dorset in support of Noor Relief Fund, with a 100% donation policy (and Zakaat eligible) towards the projects.
Cause:
Water Wells: Help bring clean water to rural communities in East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania or Uganda) by supporting the construction of water wells. Each well costs £2,000, and when you or your group reach this target, you can receive a personalised plaque as a symbol of your contribution to transforming lives through access to clean water.
Housing Project: Provide a home for orphaned families in Pakistan. By building or restoring a house, you’ll offer more than just shelter – you'll empower a family to rebuild their future and create lasting change. Each housing project costs £1,500 (+£200 for a water pump) and has the potential to transform lives for generations.
