I’m thrilled to be participating in RAGBRAI 2025, a fundraiser supporting ChildVoice! I’m passionate about this cause and need your help! Every donation—big or small—helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

Our team is pedaling across Iowa not just for the challenge, but to raise vital funds for ChildVoice’s agricultural training programs—programs that are changing lives for war-affected youth in Uganda and Nigeria.These programs empower young people to grow crops, start businesses, and build toward self-sufficiency in the agrarian cultures in which they live.     

                            
Why Your Support Matters – Now More Than Ever!
As global aid declines and forced displacement increases, local, community-driven solutions like ChildVoice’s agricultural training are more critical than ever. These programs offer a path to stability and hope when other lifelines are being cut.       

ChildVoice’s programs empower war-affected youth, adolescent girls and boys who have survived unimaginable trauma. Through hands-on learning, these young people gain the skills and confidence to grow food, earn an income, and build a future free from poverty and dependence. Your donation will provide seeds, tools, training, and ongoing support—giving survivors the chance to heal, thrive, and lead their communities toward a brighter tomorrow.                           

Every mile ridden and every dollar given brings us closer to a world where every child’s voice is heard and every survivor has the tools to rebuild.                                                         

As a member of ChildVoice’s 2025 team, we have committed to raise $20,000 to provide seeds, farm tools, individualized coaching, facilitation of savings groups, post-harvest support, and business training for our agricultural programs. Donate today and ride with us in spirit—helping ChildVoice sow seeds of hope across Africa!                                           

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort. Your support means the world to me!
