Story

Volunteers Foundation was created in 2011 with the aim of improving the life conditions of children in disadvantaged communities through the provision of quality education.​We currently focus on the Kibera slum of Nairobi - Kenya where more than 500,000 people live in poorest conditions. In addition to the construction and support of St. Monica Nursery, we launched VF Academy and maintain an educational network of independent schools with similar values and principles to cater for the needs of the children in our care. ​

Why am I running for this cause?

Disclaimer: I am not a runner! I want everything done here and now; the idea of a never-ending torturous trot is simply not appealing to me. But Monica has been an inspiration. She has dedicated her life and soul to VF for the past 10 years, moving mountains to grow a school from nothing. Her passion and perseverance are gripping, and she has moved me, literally!

Building a better future through education? I’m in!

Ps: taking bets on injuries. Donate here with your bet 😜
