Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Leeds Half Marathon 2011 · 8 May 2011 ·

We have over 10 years of experience of working in the villages of Bodo and Funzi in Kenya where people lack basics like sanitation. We have built schools,medical clinics and brought clean drinking water. We help villagers start businesses to feed their families and end the cycle of poverty.

Story

<p><strong><span style="color: #003300;">I did it! Thanks to everyone for all their support. &nbsp;I completed the 13.1 miles in 2 hours and 6 minutes.&nbsp;</span></strong></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Your donation is raising money&nbsp;for&nbsp;birthing rooms -&nbsp;two special rooms where women who currently give birth onto mud floors, with no medical provision and huge risks of infection can go to have a safe birth. </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Funzi Bodo Trust also trains local midwives. In a community where people live in mud huts, have no clean running water or&nbsp;electricity&nbsp;this will be a major step forward and save the lives of babies and mothers. </span></strong></span></p>
