​📌 Overview

​This December, Somali Hikers is partnering with Zamzam Foundation to give back to the women who gave us everything - our mothers. 

​We’re organising a Charity Hike in support of Zamzam Foundation’s All Mothers Matter Campaign, a project that helps Somali mothers receive the care, dignity, and medical support they deserve during pregnancy and childbirth.

​Together, we aim to raise £5,000 to fund safe births, access to trained midwives, essential medicines and newborn support for mothers across Zamzam Foundation’s clinics across Somali inhabited regions.

​💡 Why Join?

​❤️‍🩹 Hike for Somali Mothers – Every step you take will help a Somali mother bring her child safely into this world. Your fundraising directly supports Zamzam Foundation’s maternal clinics, which provide life-saving care to women who would otherwise go without.

​💗 Honour the Women Who Carried Us – Every penny raised brings comfort and dignity to Somali mothers struggling through poverty, displacement, or crisis. Your contribution helps them receive the care and compassion every mother deserves.

​🌄 End the Year with Purpose – Join a community of Somali brothers and sisters coming together to walk with purpose - reflecting, connecting, and giving hope to those who need it most.
