Empowering Children’s Education<\/h2>\n

We are thrilled to announce that Anne Butterly, our CEO and Founder, and Angela Byrne, our General Manager, are embarking on an incredible journey to support a Kilimanjaro Fundraiser for Education. Alongside eight other amazing hikers, they will climb Mount Kilimanjaro which is not only Africa\u2019s tallest peak, but also the world\u2019s tallest free-standing mountain<\/strong>.\u00a0They are doing this to raise funds for three incredible not for profit organisations. They are MiDeskGlobal Africa, LIFT Ireland, and ACAS Argentina and they support children’s education globally.<\/p>\n

1 Goal: Quality Education For Everyone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Why Are They Taking on This Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n

This expedition is more than just a climb; it\u2019s a powerful fundraiser for education. Anne Butterly was deeply inspired by Nelson Mandela when he said \u201cEducation is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.\u201d This resonates with Anne and believes it is essential to give children a strong start in life, regardless of their background.<\/p>\n

The team of hikers are entrepreneurs and want to use this experience to pay it forward to these three remarkable organisations. They aim to support children by ensuring they have access to quality education, which aligns with Easydry\u2019s core values of curiosity, constant learning, and social responsibility.<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s goal is to raise awareness and funds for organisations that work towards providing education to children in need children who are deprived of basic education.<\/p>\n

Their mission is to contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goal #4: “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.”<\/p>\n
