Iʼve raised £985 to support to the children's education of families who are in poverty and who are affected by chronic kidney dieses in Sri Lanka.
- Earley, United Kingdom
- Funded on Sunday, 30th April 2017
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
I went to the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka in January 2017, where people mainly suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD).
They are spending whatever little money they earn on medicine and have nothing left to support their children’s education. I have visited some families and witnessed that they do not have basic needs such as clean water, food and clothing.Neither have stable and clean environment to live.
I am ever so determined to help these people. As a result I am stepping away from my comport 5km run and taking part in Early 10km race on 23rd of April 2017 , anticipating your support to raise funds which will allow me to provide 100 school kits which includes, clothing, bag, shoes, stationaries , bottle and various exercise books per child in August 2017.
Thank you
