My wife and I have run a charity since 1997 working in Africa Uganda and Malawi mostly and I have always fancied driving from the UK (Edinburgh) to Uganda.

Anyone think this is doable these days in a small convoy, and anyone know if anyone would fund it as part of an HIV / AIDS awareness project?

Just asking or is it a stupid idea? (not my first):(:doh:

Sponsors fund it hopefully Elton John Aids Foundation or Mercury Phoenix Trust any of the big AIDS charities maybe?

Cadiz and into morocco etc.
 
Yep Nathan lots of information on HIV / AIDS but lots of children and parents dying from HIV and it's complications.

I lived in Uganda for 8 years one year in Sudan and 2 years in Malawi driving to Uganda from Edinburgh does not worry me only finding sponsors and a suitable friendly enthusiatic team to take with us. We need maybe 4 Defender 110's that can then be converted in Uganda into mobile health clinics.

Anyone interested? :D
 
Please Mods move this to the correct section sorry about that if anyone is serious about wanting to get involved in organising such a thing pleas email me at [email protected] or have a little look at our soon to be revamped website The Dignity Project

BTW I drive a Land Rover Discovery "R" GS desiel at present and in Africa we had a Nissan d/cabin hardbody.
 
might be worth moving it to the Expedition section.

Yes it is more than possible. If you need a driver/navigator for the journey let me know. Good luck with the sponsors.

Yeah, when I was in Kenya, I thought how great it would be to do the trip in my Landy, and do more for the provision of healthcare and education; it's still a plan for when I win the lottery!!:D
