I’m taking on the Gulf for Good Pirogue Challenge!
Soon, I’ll be heading off to the beautiful Island of Madagascar. I'll be sailing a traditional pirogue sailboat along the stunning coastline of Nosy Be – a journey which will be filled with adventure, breathtaking beauty, and cultural immersion.
But this challenge is so much more than just the adventure…
I’m doing it to raise AED 5,000 for LAB (Learn. Achieve. Become.) in support of people with disabilities, helping fund education, skills training, and sustainable employment opportunities – giving them the tools to lead independent, empowered lives.
✨ Every dirham (or euro, or dollar, or pound) counts. Whether it’s AED 20 or AED 200, your donation will go directly towards changing lives.
If you’re able to support, I’d be incredibly grateful. Let’s create lasting impact — together. ❤️
CHARITY PROJECT
In Nosy Be, Madagascar, people with disabilities have long faced discrimination, with little to no support or opportunities. Gulf for Good is working to change that by supporting an education center that provides vital education, skills training, and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
As part of this initiative, we are fundraising to purchase a recycling machine, which will allow the center to generate its own income and become self-sustainable. This machine will not only support the center financially but also create work opportunities for adults with disabilities, empowering them with independence and dignity.
Through this project, we are not only improving the lives of those directly involved but also working to change perceptions within the local community—showcasing the abilities and potential of people with disabilities through exhibitions, excursions, and outreach programs.
With over 60 individuals currently enrolled at the center, aged 5 and above, and 90% of students’ family members employed there, this initiative supports both individuals with disabilities and their families, fostering a stronger, more inclusive community.
FUNDRAISING
This challenge is held in association with Gulf for Good, a UAE-based not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged children and communities worldwide.
The breakdown of how donations are distributed is as follows:
75% of funds raised go directly to the education center in Madagascar, funding the purchase of a recycling machine to create sustainable income and employment for people with disabilities.
15% of funds raised go to Gulf for Good, supporting their ongoing efforts to deliver impactful charitable projects.
10% of funds raised go to Dubai Humanitarian for their emergency response initiatives.
