Help put girls in rural Africa on the path to success by pulling on your running shoes for Camfed in the British 10K London Run on July 6th. The British 10K is a fantastic opportunity to join tens of thousands of recreational runners as they race through the heart of London, passing many famous landmarks along the way including Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and St. Paul’s Cathedral. The race has sold out for the past three years, but Camfed has 30 coveted places left for this year’s event. By registering to run for Camfed, you will be raising money to buy school shoes for girls in some of the poorest parts of rural Africa, ensuring that they are able to attend school.

To register for a place, email Johanna Lund at jlund@camfed.org.

For the third consecutive year, interior designer Nancy Robinson will be pulling on her running shoes to raise money for desperately needed school shoes for girls in sub-Saharan Africa.

Last year Nancy raised more than £4,000 for Camfed by taking part in the British 10k London Run. Her efforts alone provided more than 520 girls with shoes so that they are able to go to school.

The cost of a pair of shoes is beyond the reach of many families in the rural areas where Camfed works. Girls often have to walk long distances to their nearest school, so when a girl’s family cannot afford them, it effectively denies her the chance of an education. (more…)

Nancy Robinson was one of 22 intrepid Camfed supporters who pulled on their running shoes and braved sizzling temperatures last month to run the British 10k London Run to help girls make the long journey to school in rural Africa. (more…)
