Community work to help develop sporting provisions for a school in Kenya

Auckland

On June 22nd, a group of 12 boys will travel to Kenya for a three week running training camp. The boys will be based in Iten, a small village 2400m above sea level where some of the best runners in the world live and train.

During their stay in Iten, the boys will also get the opportunity to engage in community work and one of the projects they are keen to get involved with is helping Abel Kirui (World Double Marathon Champion) to develop Sports provisions for his school the "Little Joy Academy.

Abel set up the school in the community and is funding it. Your contribution will go towards buying sports gear and sports uniform for the boys to donate to Abel and the "Little Joy Academy".

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
