By driving from London to Tajikistan, Ryan, Shopie and Ian aim to draw attention to the work of the charity, which is focusing on children's education, malaria prevention, English Language Teaching, climate change and much more in Tajikistan. The team also imports vehicles to the charity that can be used, for example for the children's educational trips.
This campaign fits well with the Embassy's foreign policy priorities, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Agreed by the UN in 2000, the 8 MDGs aim to reduce global poverty. They include achieving universal education; reducing child mortality; combating malaria and tropical diseases; and ensuring environmental sustainability.
Among other 190 countries, Hungary has signed up to fulfil the commitments of the MDGs by 2015. But this work cannot just be left to governments. It is crucial that everyone - businesses, faith groups, professionals and charities like SWORDE-Teppa contributes towards the MDGs."
