We aim to travel from London, England to Sydney, Australia by 4x4 to raise awareness of the many issues ActionAid help to tackle - as well as raise as much money as possible. This international charity played major roles in the Make Poverty History Campaign, Live8 and rebuilding of communities following the Asian Tsunami disaster. The key areas that ActionAid tackle are: Education, Health, HIV/AIDS, Women's Rights and Gender Equality, Food Rights, Humanitarian Disasters and Conflict, access to clean water. |

The charity has voiced their enthusiasm and interest in the project, both providing aid and advice to this self-organised trip. Please note all money raised is given to ActionAid - none goes towards the funding of this trip.
The trip itself offers a once in a lifetime opportunity that has taken over two years to organise. Our route also involves visiting various ActionAid projects in Pakistan, India, China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. |

We're also pleased to report that throughout our journey you can read about our endeavours not only on our blog but in the fabulous Land Rover Monthly magazine. Please click on their logo to visit their website.
