The Zipwire Challenge

Experience the world’s fastest zip line and support the world’s most vulnerable children

Saturday 11th April 2020

We are looking for adrenaline junkies to register for the world’s fastest zipwire challenge on 11th April in aid of our Orphan Appeal.

Zip it and help children in desperate need

We love making the impossible happen, especially when it comes to organising awesome Human Appeal events to help the world’s most vulnerable children.

This outstanding 500 ft-high zip line at Penrhyn Quarry in North Wales will enable you to soar through the sky at 100 mph as you take in 1,555 metres of breath-taking views across the quarry and beautiful coastline. It’s the closest thing to flying there is!

Take a leap of faith

This special Human Appeal Zipwire Challenge event will help vulnerable orphans across nine countries.

Sadly, there are an estimated 163 million orphans worldwide, due to war, natural disaster, poverty and marginalisation.

Orphan sponsorship is a solution to the global orphan crisis. It offers long-term, sustainable benefits, helping the sponsored child’s family or guardians with the costs of providing food, shelter and healthcare and school fees.

Human Appeal currently sponsors 11,845 orphans across nine countries. With our strict safeguarding policies, our Orphan Sponsorship programmes gives children the safe and secure foundation they need to work towards a brighter future.

What could be more rewarding than supporting this vital cause?
