Raising money for Da'aro Youth Project

2025 Saucony London 10k · 13 July 2025 · 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

We’re a London-based hiking group bringing people together one trail at a time.

From coastal walks to countryside views, we explore a new hike every month – and you help choose the spot. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just getting started, you’re welcome at Hike & Seek.

This July, five members of our group – Temesgen, Sarah, Semhar, Giudi and Adonay – are taking on the London 10K run to raise funds for a cause close to our hearts: Da’aro Youth Project.

Da’aro supports young asylum seekers from the Horn of Africa, offering vital services like casework, housing support, and help with education and family reunification. At the heart of their work is Injera Club, a weekly youth centre where young people can relax, eat a hot meal, and find a sense of belonging.

As a team made up of – but not limited to – members of the Habesha community, we know how important it is for young people to feel seen, supported, and safe. Many of us have personal or family experiences of migration, and we stand with Da’aro in their mission to help young people rebuild their lives in the UK.

By donating, you’ll help:

- Hire ESOL teachers, resources to help our young people integrating to life in the UK

- Keep Injera Club running each week – a lifeline for so many

- Support life-changing casework that provides stability and hope

- Every step we take in this run is powered by community – yours and ours.

Let’s do this together.

Donate now and be part of something bigger.
