Marathon for Karen Students

$10,000 goal
No donations
Started 3 years ago

Running a marathon to raise money to support Reffugees to attend University.

Bay of Plenty

My name is Ezekiel and I am a tertiary student in Tauranga. I have decided to run the Taupō Marathon on Saturday, 6 August 2022. I am running this Marathon to help support refugees in Thailand. In 2019 I went to Thailand on a missions trip and taught English to a group of Karen people, who are an indigenous ethnich group native to Myanmar/Burma.

Now five of those I taught have scholarships to Universities, these scholarships don’t cover living costs however. I am raising money to help them with these costs. Each student needs $2,000 NZD (50,000 Thai Baht) per year, so $10,000 a year for all five students. I am asking you to donate money on the condition that I complete this Marathon.

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.
