A Running Start

Our Projects

Each of our projects are oriented to assisting youngsters in East Africa, rather than established elite athletes, and are carefully selected and tightly managed to maximize results and eliminate waste. We work with many of the most respected coaches, school officials and athletes in the region and we are the exclusive or primary donor for each project. Our projects are locally-managed and most are based in high-altitude, rural and impoverished regions of East Africa where sports and education are the best means to a better life.
