16 Half Marathons

The foundation ensures that Maasai children who would otherwise not attend school receive a valuable primary education at Building Hope Academy and supports onward education to good high schools and universities. We aim to ensure young girls receive a good education and are kept safe from FGM.

Story

My legendary sister Sarah has set herself the most bonkers target of running 12 half marathons in 12 months. We are in awe of her. She's just completed number 11!!

Stephen and I joined her for 2 of them - Birmingham Half Marathon on 4th May and The Great North Run on 9th September. We’re still hurting !!

The new two-classroom building which our foundation contributed towards is furnished and ready to be fully functional for the new Kenyan school year. The children are so excited to regain the use of their dining hall which for several years has had to be repurposed as classrooms.

We’re now moving onto other important projects such as a new toilet block and books for the new curriculum.

If you can spare a few pennies to boost a few middle agers pushing their bodies to their limits, we would very much appreciate it.

Here's a little more about our Foundation - Friends of Nairoshi Foundation

We raise vital funds for a sustainable future for Kenyan registered community organisation The Nairoshi Foundation and their primary school Building Hope Academy.

The school educates Maasai children in their local community in rural Maasai lands, southern Kenya on the edge of the world famous Maasai Mara. The school offers a haven to primary age children who would otherwise unlikely go to school, ensures children move onto high quality high schools, supports widows in the community and educates and protects young girls at risk of FGM.
