Story

PLEASE HELP CECILIA, AN ORPHAN GIRL, TO DEFY THE ODDS AND CONTINUE HER EDUCATION!

Cecilia (Cece), born in 2000, came to Upendo in 2003 with her twin sister after their parents died in 2000. Cece wishes to become a Lawyer and serve as a role model for other girls like her.

Back in 1997, Eunice W.Kamotho, the founder of UCRC the Kenyan NGO we support, decided to act and saved a group of orphans.

19 years later, despite difficulties, financial stress, setbacks and many crises, Eunice managed to lead 24 girls to a secondary education, 2 girls to University and College. Also, 220 local children benefit from an education at Upendo Primary School.

The race is going to take place in Houilles (Paris) the 18th December.

The cost incurred by a secondary school education is approximately 1250 euros a year.

Sadly, only 48% of girls in Kenya attend secondary school.

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Nelson Mandela
