Your donations and support to reach a target of £1,100 per month on an on-going basis for the crew and drilling activities and £15,000 for generating the next UK group to begin fundraising for our next rig and expedition provisionally planned for 2012

What does it pay for?

2. Advertising and promotional activities to generate the next group if people who will eventually take a second rig to Sierra Leone...

What about admin and other costs ?

98% of the funds raised goes directly to the project - to the work itself. There are no paid workers, we are all volunteers. We do everything ourselves (including this website) to keep costs down!
