Story

Imagine a future transformed. That's what Dan and Ben are running for. In May 2025, they will be pounding the pavements of the MK Marathon, pushing their limits for a cause that's close to our hearts: the Home of Hope in Malawi.

Dan, an Assistant Quantity Surveyor at SDC Builders, experienced the heart of this incredible charity firsthand in August 2016. He witnessed the life-changing work being done for some of Malawi's most vulnerable young people. Nestled in a village, the Home of Hope provides education and opportunity to around 750 students, and vital vocational training to approximately 100 more.

Ben, a Design Coordinator also at SDC Builders, is joining Dan in this challenge. Together, we’re all focused on supporting the Home of Hope's Vocational Training Centre (VTC). Here, young people are learning skills that will empower them for life: bricklaying, carpentry, metalwork, tailoring and fashion design. These courses aren't just about learning a trade; they're about building a pathway to independence and a brighter future.

The Home of Hope, a lifeline for these students, covers all their costs, relying solely on the generosity of global donations. Every penny raised will directly enhance the VTC's facilities, providing the resources these determined young people need to thrive.

This isn't just a marathon; it's a mission. Dan & Ben are running to provide the tools, the materials, and the space for these students to craft their own destinies. Join us in supporting the Home of Hope and give these young people the chance to build a better life.

Please donate what you can. Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference. Let's run for hope, together.
