THANK YOU FOR VISITING OUR FUNDRAISING PAGE!

Team Shaw has so far cycled over 2011km which has well and truly beaten our aim of 1140km in 6 was!  We have 4 more days to go and are just short of our target of £322.  It would be amazing if we could reach or even exceed that target since we have far exceeded our mileage tarfpget for the relay! 

The challenge ends midnight Sat 6th June.

We are doing this because we really believe in this charity’s
cause and want to help them raise money to continue their wonderful work. In 2018 Jonah and Max went out with Rafiki to Kenya for 2 weeks helping out at schools, churches and in the community.

Rafiki Thabo’s vision is that young people, including those living with disabilities, will be empowered through education to enable them to reach their full potential and initiate positive change in their communities. They help children who could otherwise not afford to get an education, by paying their school fees. In Kenya, Uganda and Lesotho where Rafiki Thabo have their programmes, even attending normal secondary school means insurmountable school fees, and being away at school would mean that the children cannot work to help put food on the table. The result is that the children are often made to stay at home. Girls are married off too young, and the poverty cycle continues. 8 out of 10 children in Uganda will never go to
secondary school! This is because 63% of their population live on less than £1.50 per day (£550 per year), yet the cost of the average secondary school is £322 per year and for a year at university £840 per year.

Rafiki Thabo also raise money for nutritious school meals for the very poorest at their link schools, who would otherwise go hungry.  They also support education infrastructure such as building dormitories to keep the children safe at school instead of embarking on the long and hazardous walk to their remote villages every day.

We would love it if you would consider sponsoring our challenge and help us raise money to enable Rafiki Thabo to empower more
children through education!  We would love to meet the target of being able to pay for a year's education for a student at secondary school.
