Whether you are an individual, community group or company by fundraising for Build IT International you will not only be raising money for a great cause but you will have lots of fun along the way!
Why not enter a sponsored event? There are lots of exciting events you can take part in from sponsored runs to sponsored cycles and even parachute jumps, for the more adventurous out there! If you decide to enter a sponsored event we can support you with fundraising materials and information about our work.

Doing something challenging can be really rewarding and fun, but don’t just take our word for it! Here are some of the fantastic fundraisers who have supported Build IT International.
Angus Mackintosh undertook the Atacama Crossing in aid of Build IT International in March 2010:
“The whole thing was a huge challenge for me but an amazing experience in the most incredible landscape and it made me realise how lucky I am to have what I have in my normal life. It was so important for me to choose the right charity to raise money for and I thought a lot before choosing Build It, who are building a sustainable future for the people and especially the children they touch.. I must be truly mad but I hope to compete in my next 250 km challenge with Racing the Planet in Nepal in November 2011 when I will also try to raise more funds for Build IT”.
