RALLYING THE TROOPS !
The main goal of the rally is for the participants to raise at least £1000
that will be given to two different charities.
The first organization called ‘Cool Earth’ has been working with the Mongol Rally since more than a decade.
Cool Earth works alongside local communities to prevent deforestation and hence climate change. The NGO put local people back in control of their land and in control of their forest by developing local livelihood and promoting the development of these communities.
In 2016 a mind boggling £211,4290 was raised by you Rally participant; this amounts to 245,717 trees saved from deforestation . Although a minimum of £500 needs to be raise for them; we aim to raise at least double the amount. Someone can tell us how much trees saved that means?

The second one is very close to our heart as Margaux is currently doing an internship in this great NGO called First Things Foundation.
We have decided to give the other half of our fundraising money to foundation, which has several missions in Guatemala and Sierra Leone. FTF promotes the development of local communities by helping entrepreneurs in achieving their goals and professional aspirations.
FTF nourishes and develop brilliant ideas and help in the resolution of entrepreneurial problems, which will give a new aspiration to the members of the rural communities the foundation is generating momentum for.
