Story

We run - you donate - children win!

The Giraffe Project children's charity works with a set of local partner schools and educational institutions in Kenya to provide educational opportunities for over 400 children a year from the most impoverished areas of Nairobi, Kenya.

We have been doing this now for 20 years, following our original Giraffe Project mission from 2005 of "helping children to walk tall into their futures".

By sponsoring our team of runners/walkers in the Brussels 20km, you help us

- keep young children from poor families in primary schools near their homes in the slums

- rescue young teenagers currently working on the city's rubbish heaps from abuse and disease by funding their places in secure secondary boarding schools

- provide these young people with the education they need to have independent and dignified lives as contributors to their society: a trans-generational impact

- support activities such as career counselling and health advice that promote the well-being of our pupils
