Run for a Purpose: Every Step Makes a Difference
What makes this initiative especially meaningful is its connection to the Kosgei-Walpole Foundation, a charity organization dedicated to helping bright students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds access education.
Founded in 2014 by Isaiah Kosgei, the Foundation supports vulnerable learners by helping meet essential educational needs, including school fees, uniforms and learning materials.
For many children, talent, determination and a desire to learn are not enough to overcome financial barriers. Through its charitable work, the Foundation seeks to give these learners a fairer opportunity to remain in school, pursue their ambitions and build a brighter future.
By choosing to participate in the running camp, you can enjoy your passion for running while contributing to a cause that changes lives. Proceeds from the camp will support the Foundation’s charitable activities and its commitment to education.
