Forty @ Sixty Challenge 2026

Running Barefoot for Kibera Kids

Help Us Feed 600 Children Daily; And Grow Even Further

On 31st May 2026, I will run the Manchester 10K barefoot, for children in the Kibera slums of Nairobi, some of whom walk to school with no shoes at all.

Yet as urgent as shoes and clothing are, food is even more critical.
A hungry child cannot learn neither can a hungry child dream.

Through Kanzi Kibera Friends (UK Charity) and Kanzi Kenya Foundation, we currently provide hot school meals for 600 children every single day. BUT the list keeps growing. These meals are often the only guaranteed food a child receives.

The need is far greater than the resources.

Your donation will directly support:

Daily hot meals for vulnerable children

Scaling the feeding programme to reach more kids

Support for basic educational and wellbeing needs

Community uplift through the Kanzi Resource Centre.

Why barefoot?

To stand in solidarity with children who walk barefoot because poverty gives them no other option.

Join the team. 
Support us. 
Run with us.

A growing team of runners in Manchester is already signing up.
Every pound you give becomes food, dignity, and hope for a different future.

Thank you for turning footsteps into food, and miles into meals.
