Running a Half Marathon, part of the Nairobi StanChart Marathon · 29 October 2023

REAP is a charity, registered in the UK, and operating in Kenya. We provide training and development in issues facing the planet: Soil and Water conservation, combatting climate change and human health improvement: • Stewardship of God’s earth. This is primarily undertaken with sowing and cultivation of vetiver grass. The arrests soil erosion which in turn reduces deforestation, and provides a ready supply of organic matter, suitable for composting. • Women in development is where we focus on teaching through women’s church fellowship groups with a particular emphasis on improved rural kitchens including fuel efficient stoves. Church groups are a very effective means of delivery. • Natural medicines – using God given herbs and plants to create natural remedies which are shown to increase immunity. This work is undertaken in partnership with “anamed” - an international agency working in this field of activity. Our planting projects produce materials that are suitable for use as natural remedies. Of particular focus is promoting “artemisia annua”, the leaves of which are used as a malarial prophylactic and immune system booster. REAP regularly holds training courses and seminars, at grass roots level with individual rural farmers and community groups and residential training for national and international participants. In the next year, we particularly wish to expand the planting of Vetiver grass for soil and water conservation.

Story

As a passionate supporter of Rural Extension with Africa's Poor (REAP), I am excited to announce that I will be running a half marathon as part of the Nairobi Standard Chartered Marathon on 29th October 2023 to raise funds for this incredible charity appeal.

REAP is doing vital work in western Kenya, teaching even the smallest farmers to be responsible stewards of the soil and environment from a biblical perspective. With climate change affecting many areas in Africa, it's more important than ever that we support REAP's mission to bring development to the rural poor and help them adapt to these changes.

But we need your help! Our target amount is £1,000 and every donation counts. By supporting this cause, you'll be helping REAP reach those communities that are yet to benefit from its work and training. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.
