Make a Difference: Campaigns

Give our very own Henna an extra push to climb Mount Everest!

Our Corporate Development Manager, Henna Hemnani, is so committed that she even uses her holiday to raise funds for EMpower. In her own words:

“This March, my husband Ishaan and I have decided to set our sights high and trek Mount Everest Base Camp. The journey should take about 14 days reaching 5,380 metres. I imagine it will be wildly beautiful and I am certain it will be very challenging! Even so, I feel fortunate to be able to have such an experience and I would like to take the opportunity to raise some funds for a charity close to my heart: EMpower.

With a mission to empower marginalised youth in emerging market countries, I am inspired on a daily basis by the work EMpower do to help young people reach their fullest potential. I grew up in Nigeria and India and it’s because of this exposure that I have a personal passion for this charity. When I visited our grantee partners in Ghana, I saw first hand the difference their work can make to these exceptional and bright young people, and I fully share EMpower’s mission to provide better opportunities in these emerging markets.”

We are so proud of Henna to take on this challenge! Support Henna by clicking here!
