Hey everyone,

I’ve signed up to run a 10K to raise £400 for a cause that really matters to me — the Daaro Youth Project.

Daaro is a small youth charity set up by members of the Eritrean community in London, following the tragic deaths of four teenage Eritrean asylum seekers. They support young people from migrant backgrounds, especially Eritrean and Ethiopian youth, helping them deal with the pressures of life here — from isolation and grief to facing unfair systems that don’t always have their back.

They run a weekly youth club in South London called Injera Club, where young people can chill, eat good food, play games, and just be themselves. It’s more than just a hangout — it’s a space for community, support, and empowerment. They also run a bereavement and loss group, and they’re working on starting a mentoring and befriending service to build stronger links across the British-Eritrean community.

Their work is personal, powerful, and making a real difference.

I’m proud to be running for them — and I’d really appreciate any support you can give. Whether it’s £5 or £50, every donation will go directly to helping Daaro continue the work they’re doing for young people who need it.

Thanks so much,

Yuial
