2022: Chloe raises £1,500 for Askole School

Chloe has completed a 100km walk in January 2022,  with a 15kg rucksack.  This is the distance from the school in Askole, to the summit of K2. (Mountaineers pass through Askole on their way to climb K2). Chloe has raised £1,500 to to pay  the salaries of three female teachers for one year who teach in the small village of Askole, in Pakistan.

Askole lies in the foothills of the Karakoram Mountains, many hours by jeep from the nearest town, Skardu. Despite being the gateway to the Baltoro glacier and the popular trail to Concordia and K2, the village itself is very poor and, due to its remote location, fairly neglected by the authorities.

The village school has 270 students, 170 boys and 100 girls divided into 8 classes forced to share 5 classrooms.
