Last month, AWAG took part in the Global Giving Winter Challenge, with the aim of raising £2500 in a space of 5 weeks from over 50 individual donors. The challenge involved raising money for one project, for which AWAG chose phase II of our previously successful sanitary and menstrual health project. More information can be found on our project page:

In order to tackle this challenge, AWAG decided to host an ‘Around the World in 10 Kilometres’ run, where our AWAG’s supporters across the globe were given the opportunity to take part in a sponsored 10 kilometre run for the campaign.
We had participants running in various cities, including London, Kent, Liverpool, Hong Kong, Munich, Ireland and Sydney.
The campaign was a huge success and we raised a whopping £5000 for AWAG. This meant not only gaining permanent affiliation with Global Giving and passing their Winter Challenge, but winning a bonus prize of £500 for having the most donors of all the NGO’s who took part in the challenge.
AWAG would like to say a huge thank you to all runners, donors and supporters who helped us in this campaign. We couldn’t have done it without you!
