Story

Eunice Kamotho  the founder of UCRC the Kenyan NGO we support, has saved a group of orphans in the beginning of the century.

15 years later, Eunice managed to lead 19 girls to a secondary education (Only 48% of girls in Kenya attend secondary school)

So now we need to help by supporting 8 more girls, who are going to reach secondary school next year !

Support Riccardo ‘s effort ! For Esther he is going to run the half Marathon of Dublin (19th September)

The cost incurred by a secondary school education is approximately 1200 euros a year.

We received a letter from Esther, some extract : 

"I would like you to sponsor me from form one to University. The reason as to why I want to reach from that level to the last one, is that I want to attain my goals. I would like to be a surgeon when I grow up. And for that, I will be able to help my siblings, other orphans and you too"
