SEAN BURGESS: ROW FOR GOOD

in partnership with Gulf for Good

In April 2022, Sean will attempt to break the world record for the Longest Continual Row and in doing so raise vital funds for the Enjoro Primary School in Tanzania.

In order to break the record, Sean will need to row for over 51 consecutive hours on a Concept 2 indoor rower. This age-group world record has been unbeaten in almost a decade due to the extreme fatigue, physical stress and sleep deprivation put on the athletes that attempt it.

ABOUT THE CHARITY:

Row for Good will support the Enjoro Primary School through the Foundation of African Empowerment (FAE), a not-for-profit non-governmental organisation dedicated to improving access to quality education for all children in Tanzania through providing support services, awareness raising and advocacy.

The School is based in the Enjoro Maasai Village in northern Tanzania, where the 824 children and 12 full-time teachers are in desperate need of funding for infrastructure projects, including additional classrooms - the current ratio of classroom to children is 1:165!

In addition, the School provides for a number of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), who would usually be kept at home due to school infrastructure being disability unfriendly. The School wants to now enhance their learning and teaching infrastructure for SEND students, thereby providing a place for all children to learn.
