Suubi Africa UK is a small family run charity based in Durham, set up to support Suubi Africa Village in Uganda. The people here live in one of the poorest parts of Uganda. Over the last 12 years we have built our village which now has two family homes housing 16 orphans, a primary school, a medical centre, a Saturday Club where we feed over 200 local children every weekend and community facilities including an event hall, playground and football field.

Our school and community activities have been closed since the lockdown in March last year but our team in Uganda have been going out into the community every week to give out food, basic supplies and medicine to the families.

All of our fundraising events were cancelled last year so we are trying to find new ways of raising money to continue to help these children and families who rely on us.

Thank you very much for your support. We hope that you enjoy the challenge. We thought it would be fun to see if once all individual miles are added together, we could make the 6000 mile journey from Durham to Suubi Africa Village in Uganda, where every penny raised will go to help the children and families who need it.
