No mountain too high for East Midlands Registered Manager

Wednesday, 29th February 2012

As a Registered Manager, Nazmeen is used to dealing with mountains of paperwork on a daily basis. 

On 5th May, however, Naz is set to embark on a mountainous task of a very different nature.  Naz is climbing Mount Snowdon, Wales' highest peak, in aid of the East Africa Appeal:

The UN declared a drought in parts of Somalia in July 2011, following failure of rains across East Africa, which left over 12 million people in need of emergency assistance.

In the six months since the declaration Islamic Relief has been implementing a £22 million emergency relief programme, supporting over 1 million people with food assistance and over 400,000 people with clean drinking water.

£75 can feed a family for a month in South Central Somalia
£270 can treat 3 severely malnourished children
£920 can provide clean water to 20 families for a month
£10,000 can run a mobile health clinic for 3 months

That's just an idea of how the money will be spent…

Naz is relishing the challenge, and we wish her and her friends all the very best!

You can sponsor Nazmeen, along with her friends Nadia and Saima, by visiting their Virgin Money Giving page.
