African Promise is an educational charity that adopts a holistic approach to the development of primary schools in rural Kenya. Our aim is to improve the quality and provision of primary education by ensuring that schools are equipped to deliver a primary education that is worth having.

Story

Thanks for visiting our page!  This summer we will be running 750km to raise funds for African Promise.  This distance was chosen as it is the width of Kenya at the point of the equator.

Now we know some of you are thinking that this is going to be easy for two fit and highly tuned athletes such as ourselves but this is some 18 marathons we're talking about here!  This will be a great challenge and we are going to need your donations to spur us on and help raise lots of money for African Promise.

For those of you that may not have heard of African Promise, it is a new charity that was founded by our friend, Charlie Coldman, and aims to provide Primary School education to children in rural areas of Kenya.  We wanted to help support Charlie and his excellent work by doing something and this seemed like a reasonable challenge!

Please help us to raise as much money as possible for this very worthy cause.

Progress:

390km done...360km to go!
