Elias' fundraiser for Da'aro Youth Project

Elias Hailemicael is raising money for Da'aro Youth Project

Saucony London 10k 2026 · 12 July 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Set up by the Eritrean community in London in 2018 we help traumatised unaccompanied young asylum seekers and refugees from the Horn of Africa, providing a warm welcome in a safe space, a refuge from the hostile environment, mentoring and advocacy, and a range of wholesome empowering activities.

Story

I'm running a 10K for Da'aro Youth Project next month and would love some support if you can spare it.

Da'aro is a London-based charity that supports young refugees and asylum seekers from the Horn of Africa — mainly aged 14–21, a lot of them Eritrean. They run a weekly youth club in South London, offer casework support, and just generally make sure these young people have somewhere to turn when things get hard. A lot of them arrive here alone, after pretty traumatic journeys, with no family around them.

As someone with Eritrean heritage this one's personal to me. I want to see these kids looked after.
