This campaign aims to support the expenses for our participation in the UNIRAID solidarity trip to Morocco in February 2025.
Welcome to our Uniraid 2025 adventure.
The adventure began when Tiago decided to ask João if he wanted to take part in a desert race for a week. Little did Tiago know that João has few demands in life, but a decent bathroom and a mattress to sleep on are at the top of his list. This conversation took place at a lunch table, when João was still on crutches (that sales pitch for the weak). Tiago showed some videos of previous editions. So what is UNIRAID?
Uniraid is a solidarity, entrepreneurial journey with a strong community and mutual aid component across the sands of Morocco and Dakar. The car must be over 15 years old and cannot be a 4x4. It is a 2400 km journey, spread over 6 days, with navigation using (ONLY) a roadbook and compass and we hope to arrive with the car (not on a trailer) to deliver solidarity material to several remote communities.
It involves preparing the car for this tough adventure, and finding support and sponsorship in our community for expenses, registration and 40kgs of solidarity material.
Being also a super/mega/hyper fan of driving, and of doing miles, despite the implicit situation of desert and tents, the proposal pleased me, and before dessert the decision was practically made. After a few days came that pleasant thing to hear/read "let's go". And so began this long and complex journey.
