HELP ESTHER, AN ORPHAN GIRL, TO DEFY THE ODDS!

Back in 1997, Eunice W.Kamotho, the founder of UCRC the Kenyan NGO we support, decided to act and saved a group of orphans.

19 years later, despite difficulties, financial stress, setbacks and many crises, Eunice managed to lead 24 girls to a secondary education, 2 girls to University and College.

Also, 220 local children benefit from an education at Upendo Primary School.

Sadly, only 48% of girls in Kenya attend secondary school, among orphans, the statistic drops even further.

Riccardo’s action enables her to have a secondary education.Esther is a very promising girl, extremely bright with an altruist touch.

The marathon is going to take place in Venice the 23rd October.

The cost incurred by a secondary school education is approximately 1250 euros a year.
