Message from Anna: 
“My name is Ana, I am 45 years old, I live in Madrid. I am married and I have two kids, a boy (11) and a girl (7). Although the sport has always been very present in my like, I started to run a little more than a year and a half ago. My first objective was a 10km race and I got it . Next, the 20km distance. I was enjoying, I had my routine of running … and then came the opportunity of running Seville Marathon. I prepared it with much illusion, very much discipline and I finished it¡ I enjoy a lot. My next goal, in my city, the Madrid Half Marathon on April 2nd. But now, I want to run not just for running… for this great objective, The Eunice Upendo Project. I want to share my training sessions, my race with all you. And why this project? The main reason is that I believe in education as a main step for a better life, a better future. In Kenya there is a low enrollment of girls in education and the Upendo Children´s Rehabilitation Centre give this opportunity covering the cost of education of their children. I applaud this great job.”

Back in 1997, Eunice W.Kamotho, the founder of UCRC the Kenyan NGO we support, decided to act and saved a group of orphans.
19 years later, despite difficulties, financial stress, setbacks and many crises, Eunice managed to lead 24 girls to a secondary education, 2 girls to University and College.
Also, 220 local children benefit from an education at Upendo Primary School.

SUPPORT ANA’S EFFORT! AND HELP CECILIA TO PURSUE HER DREAMS

Sadly, only 48% of girls in Kenya attend secondary school, among orphans, the statistic drops even further.

The cost incurred by a secondary school education is 900 euros a year.
(including personal effect, transport…)
