Kili Challenge
Support us as we climb Kilimanjaro to give a disabled couple and their children a new life!
Sports for Change has been supporting John and his family for the last two years . His parents are both disabled but always happy and joyful. John is hard working in school and despite all challenges his performance is always good. His dream is to become a doctor. His younger brother wants to become a pilot, while his little sister who is 6 years just want to play.
The problem
There are currently five disabled couples and 15 family members living in parastatal houses in Nyahururu, Kenya. John's family is one of them. They have been given a notice to vacate. These families together with their children face risk of starting a homeless life and the children face a risk of missing school.
How will this project solve this problem?
This project will help John and his family with a stable home and also help John and his siblings to settle and attend school without any disruption and worry. This will also help the parents to concentrate on income generating activities that will benefit the whole family.
WHAT WE ARE DOING TO RAISE MONEYFrom 26th Sep -1st Oct will be in Mt. Kilimanjaro battling to reach the highest point in Africa. We couldn't think of a better way to reward ourselves than give a home to a needy family. Something they will treasure for life, Something that will change their lives for ever.
WHY DONATE TO THIS PROJECT
John's family is the most happy family I have meet among the families we support. They got smiles that light your heart despite their challenges. They are very positive and ambitious. They don't wait for sympathizers to feed them, the mother try all she can to put food on the table. A house will give the mother enough space for knitting, a place to call home and a chance to do farming. This will also give the children good room to study, ground to play and a chance to rear some pets. It is not just a house but a new life!HOW YOU CAN HELP
