Lets go Goa!

From 2nd March through to International Women's day (8th March) Outside In owner Mel Russell will be joining 50 other adventurous big hearted women to make the scary, traffic crazy 1200km drive in a Rickshaw from Chennai to Goa. Mel will be joined by three other Glasgow business women chums in making the epic trek, Gail Lappin, Justine Marshall & Nadine Brady.
This is no easy, put your feet up chauffeured tour, this is a get your hands dirty, dusty, hair-raising challenge to raise £150,000 for education, skills training and maternal health initiatives, including building safe classrooms for girls, preventing postpartum anaemia, and creating pathways to financial independence through vocational training.🛺🛺🛺

Starting in the crazy bustling city of Chennai, the group will ride their Tuk Tuks inland through the sights and sounds of India, visiting some of the charities along the way.

As a group we are wanting to raise £350,000 for projects that help women and girls access education, skills training, and vital healthcare including :

• Build safe, weather-resistant classrooms, giving underserved children—especially girls and those with special needs—a secure space to learn.

• Empower young women with skills training, enabling them to achieve economic independence.

• Improve maternal healthcare, saving lives and addressing postpartum anaemia.

This is more than a fundraising effort; it’s a mission to break cycles of poverty and provide opportunities for brighter, empowered futures.

Founded by Em Sayle (founder of the KK Group) and Frankie James (founder of Ideas Forum), the Sisterhood Group is made up of more than 200 women; founders, adventurers and professionals who take on extraordinary challenges to raise money for women and children’s charities.
