Aylesbury High School held their annual fund-raising week, including a Staff Pantomime, Staff Karaoke and the ‘A Factor’ for The Rosie May Foundation, a charity that gives women employment and safe travel to work.
Alice Birchfield, Head Girl, started the AHS’ partnership with The Rosie MayFoundation this year, as its core values of female empowerment, women’s rights and equality, align closely with AHS’ visions and values.
Alice said: ‘To address the issue of safer transport and the sexual harrassmnment experienced by women in Sri Lanka, the Rosie May Foundation started their Pink Tuk-Tuk initiative, which trains women to drive. During our fundraising week in December, AHS raised £1,230, which enables the training of 12 women to drive one of these.’
The school hopes that in the next 3-5 years, they can raise over£4,000, which would fund their own Tuk-Tuk and a possible volunteering trip to visit women in Sri Lanka.
