UAE charity Gulf for Good launches Madagascar Kayak Challenge

Dubai: UAE charity Gulf for Good has launched its Great Madagascar Kayak Challenge.

The challenge aims to raise funds to build and support a school for 50 children on the island of Kalakajour, north-west coast of Madagascar, and will take place between October 9 and 18.

Children on the island do not currently have access to formal education.

G4G Co-Founder and Chairman, Brian Wilkie, said: "We always aim to incorporate a visit to the cause that challenger funds are supporting because this not only helps to build a connection with the cause, but it also shows our participants exactly whose lives they are transforming for the better. This will undoubtedly be a highlight of the challenge."

Paddlers will have the opportunity to meet the children that their funds will support.
