Last year’s borehole fundraiser was a huge success! We are so thankful for those who allowed us to bring water back to our Ronesa School community. Now that we have water in great supply, we desperately need to turn our attention toward improving the infrastructure of our school; starting with our need to build a proper kitchen and eating area for our current students and staff.

Lace up your sneakers and get ready to make a real impact! The Run for Ronesa 5K event isn't just about running or walking — it's about supporting the future of the bright young students at Ronesa Junior School. All funds raised will go directly toward building a new kitchen and dining hall, ensuring that students and staff members have a safe, nutritious space to enjoy their meals and continue their education with energy and focus. The current kitchen is in desperate need of an upgrade, as it provides an open firepit to cook all the food for the school, dishes are cleaned in buckets outside while sitting on a rickety bench, and the students eat outside with food on their laps on makeshift benches under a tree. Mama Joyce feeds 200+ people each day. Currently, Mama Joyce prepares porridge in the morning and then a rice/corn/beans meal for lunch. With your help, we can provide these students with the resources they need to thrive.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just in it for the walk, this is an amazing opportunity to get active, have fun, and make a lasting difference. Something special for this year, Julie and Kim will get to run with the kids in Kenya on May 10th, so if you sponsor a kiddo to run, we get to do it with them!

If you can’t make it, don’t worry, you can still make a difference by donating or sharing the event with others!

Let’s come together to build something incredible — one step at a time! Asante Sana (Thank You!)
