Story
The Upendo girls have a new Champion and need your help!
Aurelie is going to run the Rock ‘n roll LisbonHalf Marathon (18th October) to support the Upendo Children's Rehabilitation Centre.
Back in 1997, Eunice W..Kamotho, the founder, decided to act,with only a vision and almost no resources.
Since1997, Upendo has expanded to become home to 40 orphan girls and a primaryschool for 87 additional local children.
15 years later, despite difficulties, financial stress, setbacks and many crises, Eunice managed to lead 19 girls to a secondary education (Only 48% of girls in Kenya attend secondary school. Among orphans, the statistic drops even further)
So now we need yourhelp in supporting Aurelie's half marathon! Please donate so that she can send 8 of Upendo's most promising orphaned girls to school next year.
The girls are:
Esther Gatumbi ; Martha Wambui, ; Jane Njoki ; Pauline Muthoni ;Ann Wangari ; Joyce Mugure ; Veronica Njambi ; Linet Waithira.
