The N2K group and what they have achieved so far has inspired me to go on this journey and try to raise money.

 

This 80km walk will inshAllah begin on the 31st of December,
in the name of Imam Zainul Abideen A.S., Bibi Zainab A.S., Bibi Fatimah A.S. and Imam Zaman A.F.S. I know I have signed up late, but for the sake of the children and families in Karbala, donate what you can.

If it helps, I will be walking alone for 2 and a half days, so please walk with me in spirit.

 

The money you sponsor will bring light into 4000 homes in villages around Karbala who currently have no access to electricity. The lighting of their homes will enable the family to be safer in the dark, avoid inhalation of diesel fumes indoors, burns due to naked flames and allow children to study after dark. Through Lady Fatemah Trust (a UK based charity who take 0% commission) all your donations will go directly to funding this project:

 

£150 helps in fabrication and maintenance of one solar lantern in a poor rural household – that’s just £2 per kilometre of the walk.

£300 pays for the installation and maintenance of one fixed solar lighting unit in a rural non-electrified household – that’s just £4 per kilometre of the walk.

£600 trains 4 people to install and maintain solar panels for households in 6 months – that’s just £8 per kilometre of the walk.
