Hello, Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. 

We will be running the Marrakesh Marathon 2023 in Morocco with SKT Welfare for Somalia (charity number. 1153735)

Somalia has had the worst drought in 70 years hits the horn of Africa. Somalia’s current drought and climate changes have surpassed the 2010-11 and 2016-17 droughts in terms of duration and severity. An estimated 7.8 million people are now severely affected by the drought due to the unprecedented impacts of multiple failed rainy seasons and increasing food prices with the fifth rainy season projected to also fail. Somalia is on the brink of another famine a decade later.Some 730 children have died in food and nutrition centres across the country between January and July this year but the numbers could be more as many deaths go unreported.

An estimated 1.5 million children under age five face acute malnutrition of which nearly 386,400 are likely to be severely malnourished by the end of 2022. With your support we can make life changing impact for families and we will share the journey of running the Marrakesh Marathon in January 2023! 

Please give generously any amount you can to help our brothers and sisters in Somalia.
