Hannah's fundraiser for Brighter futures foundation.Africa

Hannah Ellis is raising money for Brighter Futures Foundation Africa

Half marathon · 4 May 2026

We seek out the most vulnerable; children facing abuse, FGM, child marriage, and unimaginable hardship, and we help them reclaim their dignity, their hope, and their future. Through deep local roots and trusted partnerships, we reach those who might otherwise be unseen.

Story

I’m running to raise £1,200 — the cost of supporting a child in school for an entire year. That covers everything: school fees, food, uniform, books, and basic care. One year of stability. One year of hope.

The little girl I’m fundraising for was found abandoned in a bathroom as a baby in Kenya. The woman who rescued her loved her as her own — until she was tragically killed in a road accident two years ago. She left behind several children. Three of them still urgently need school fees, food, uniforms and books.

I carry this quote with me as I train:

“Every child you encounter is a divine encounter.”

(CEO, Compassion International)

I believe that deeply. And I believe this is one of those moments.
