Twiga Trek 2023 Cycle Challenge

Some words from our Mama Sandra;

We are a small foundation operating here in Kenya, Kwale County, educating young girls from seriously disadvantaged backgrounds – backgrounds where there are no parental units, no food, no books and no future for the girl child.  Disease and pestilence are prevalent and illness is common with no recourse to doctors or medicine.  We, as The Kenya Kesho School for Girls, are working towards changing that situation.  Educate to Eradicate Poverty is our mantra; our aim is to produce exceptional young women who will drive change in their communities by being better educated, better informed and ultimately, being better prepared for life outside the village and the future.

(Kesho in our own language, Swahili, means for tomorrow, for the future).

On 28th October 2023, we hold our annual Twiga Trek cycle challenge to raise funds for our school at the Vipingo Ridge.  This is a cycling competition for young people from a number of schools in Mombasa and environs.  They have to raise funds to enter and raise funds for each mile they cycle around a designed circuit. Their parents and teachers are also invited, as long as they have bicycles and helmets!

Some statistics for you – in Kwale County, we have 88,000 girls of primary school going age. Of those 88,000 girls, only 1000 complete primary school. This means that The Kenya Kesho School for Girls educates 4% of all female children in our county. This is a phenomenal statistic and we would like you to join our Twiga Trek 2023 cycling fundraising event to help educate to eradicate poverty. Together We Will!

Support us to impact the lives of the 240 girls at our school.  Support us for a brighter future!  Let’s cycle into the future together.

It’s even Better now because;

  • Teachers can make their teams and participate as well

  • Schools can fundraise for or adopt a team from another school

  • Register as the Early Bird and stand a chance to win the grand prize as the designer/ Organizer of 1 course in the Gauntlet Challenge!

See you on Saturday 28th of October 2023 at The Vipingo Ridge
