My Story

Hello Everyone,

In January 2019, I - along with 25 of my Aon UK colleagues - will be travelling to Guatemala, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, to build two homes for families in poverty.

The builds will be constructed by hand, without the use of mechanical equipment or tools. We will be working in difficult conditions and it will be both a very physical and emotional challenge for us all. However, we will not fail. We are willing, able and prepared for heavy graft.

One home costs just $5000 and is life changing for both the families and community as a whole. The structures of these homes will be designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and the stoves will help prevent respiratory diseases that many of these families unfortunately suffer from.

Habitat for Humanity is a humanitarian organisation focused on long-term development, aid and poverty alleviation. Habitat's mission is to build a safe environment where families and communities can thrive and, to date, the charity has built more than 1 million homes and served over 10 million people.

Everyone deserves to have a safe and decent place to live, please help me to give these families a new start in life by donating to my fundraising page and helping me reach my target of £3000.

Thank you so much for your support.

Katie
