Holly Canup's Story
I love Amani Sasa! I love the staff and I love the work they are doing to help refugees in Kampala that have left their homes/countries for a variety of reasons - none of which were voluntary. Help me raise money and awareness for more to be helped. I challenge the other FBC class teams to raise the most money for a special Sunday breakfast from me!

Arise International Womens Day Virtual 5K
Join us virtually on March 8th for the Amani Sasa Virtual 5k!
Invite your family and friends, choose a 5k course to walk or run and join us from all over the world! All registered race participants will receive a t-shirt. In order to receive your shirt in time before the race, we ask that you register before February 26th. Registration is open until March 8th.
This 5k is called Arise because we believe that all women and girls deserve the chance to be safe, heal and rise into their full God-given potential. The proceeds from this event will be used to provide critical, urgent care to the most vulnerable refugee women and girls in Uganda. The USAID funding freeze has resulted in the closure of offices and programs assisting refugees in Kampala. This is at the same time that the violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo has sharply escalated. Right now, there are over 2500 refugees are coming to Uganda every week.
Together we can make a difference. Together, we can ensure that refugee women and girls have access to safety and critical care at the time that they need it most.
This is a virtual event. The time and location that you choose to run, walk or bike is flexible.
