We did it!

We did it!
In more ways than one - we survived the Sahara desert run AND we beat our initial $2000 donations target.
We’re very pleased to share that €600 has already been donated in person to the two Sahara Marathon projects, and donations will soon be shared with The NZ Refugee Family Reunification Trust and RET’SER 31 too.
While living at the refugee camps, we learnt about another incredible initiative - Sandblast, who are doing fantastic work to provide children with afterschool English and music classes. We saw first hand the results from these classes, with the kids confidence skyrocketing when their time was filled with new learning opportunities as opposed to being stuck messing around in the streets.
Given this, we have decided to distribute excess funds directly into the Sahrawi camp community via the registered charity Sandblast to maximise the impact for children and families.
So please keep donating to this important cause! We can’t wait to update you with the final donation amounts and impact when the page closes in a few weeks 🫶
