    Iʼve raised £2,025 to build a school Science Laboratory at St Paul's Makongi High School in Isaiah Kosgei's home town

    Eldoret, Kenya
    Funded on Friday, 4th March 2022

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    Edit: Kosgei completed the marathon in an incredible 2:30:22. Thank you so much for the amazing donations so far. To celebrate his achievement, we are pushing on with the fundraising to help ensure the twin science laboratory can be built to a high standard (with a durable roof etc) and meet all the needs of the pupils.

    It is Isaiah Kosgei's birthday on 27th November and, in true fashion, he is embarking on a challenge to help kids in local community...

    Rather than settle down for a slice of cake, Kosgei is going to lace up and run a solo marathon. The aim - to raise enough funds to build a new twin science laboratory at St Paul's Makongi High School. The school, with a student population of 624, is seriously in need of this space to effectively deliver a wide range of provision.

    The school is where Kosgei, after his running career, went back to school and got his qualifications. A journey that has gone on to see him put so much back into the local community and provide so many children with an education they wouldn't have otherwise got..

    The route will take Kosgei from the centre of Eldoret to the gates of the school. Where hopefully they can celebrate the start of the project!

      Thank you so much for your donations so far - they mean a huge amount to Kosgei and all the pupils at the school! Kosgei completed the marathon in an incredible 2:30:22. He finished on the school site to the cheers of the pupils set to benefit from your generosity. We are pushing on with the fundraising to help ensure the twin science laboratory can be built to a high standard (with a durable roof etc) and be there for generations to come. It will also allow the school to equip the laboratory to meet all the needs of the pupils
