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 JEAN-MARIE’S EFFORT! AND HELP CECILIA AND MARTHA TO PURSUE HER DREAMS
Sadly, only 48% of girls in Kenya attend secondary school, among orphans, the statistic drops even further.
The race is going to take place in Neuilly sur Marne (Paris) the 08th January.
The cost incurred by a secondary school education is approximately 1000 euros a year.
