Every Child Deserves An Opportunity To Be In Class
Every child has a right to education. In view of this, a group of professionals from Kandara Sub-County, under the Kandara Education CBO, created a branded event to provide new opportunities to young people and new experiences to the running public.
The group desires to work with individuals and independent sponsors who would like to partner to deliver a professional event that will assist high school students in their education.
the THIRD edition of kandara education marathon
The 3rd Edition of the Kandara Education Marathon is scheduled for 1st October 2023 and shall feature the races below.
The primary objective of the run is to finance high school education for needy children in Kandara by offering full 4-years scholarships. So far, from the previous two marathons, we managed to sponsor High School Education for 17 deserving students. During the 3rd Edition, we target to increase this number by 10 more beneficiaries (One boy and one girl from each of the 5 education zones) joining Form 1 in the 2024 academic year.
The top 3 female and male runners in the 21KM Race will receive token Prices as follows;
Position 1: Sh 20,000
