CHARITY PROJECT:

The Kisoro Children’s Foundation, which exists to support the education, health, and welfare of children and families. We are raising funds to tile the classrooms, purchase a playground and to furnish the new school. 

 FUNDRAISING:

Each participant is tasked with raising a minimum of AED5,000 (USD1,360) to support this project and, together, change the lives of these children and families.

This challenge is held in association with local not-for-profit Gulf for Good, whose purpose is to change the lives of underprivileged children around the world.

The breakdown of how donations are distributed are as follows:

- 75% of funds raised go to The Kisoro Children’s Foundation,

- 15% of funds raised go to Gulf for Good (not-for-profit in the UAE and registered UK charity) for their sustainability

- 10% of funds raised go to International Humanitarian City for their emergency response work
