Lovely story about Ormskirk's Olivia Ponting who's taking on her highest challenge ever...

She's hoping to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak and the world's highest freestanding mountain.

Said Olivia: "I am supporting Dig Deep which believes everyone in Kenya has a fundamental right to access clean water, safe toilets and good hygiene."

Dig Deep work in Bomet County, Kenya, home to 1 million people and one of the most underserved and least resourced areas of the country. Here, 2 out of 3 people don't have clean water, over half don't have safe toilets and children don't have access to basic hygiene education.

Through helping children and their families to realise their right to clean water, safe toilets and good hygiene, your support will save lives, improve education, empower women and girls and strengthen livelihoods.

She added: "My overall fundraising target is £2950, 50% of which goes directly to accelerating access to water, sanitation and good hygiene in Bomet County, Kenya, 50% of which goes towards my expedition costs (not including flights, I am paying for these myself)

"Any support to help me reach my target is greatly appreciated, thank you!"
