Neema Pamoja Run

May 9, 2026 | Waitaluk (Kitale, Kenya)

 
 

Children growing up in rural Kenya rarely have access to counseling, but many face the traumas of extreme poverty, abandonment, or violence.

Neema's counselors visit local schools regularly to offer group counseling services to these at-risk children and teenagers.

We are organizing our second annual community fundraiser to support and expand these vital services—and we need your help to raise $10,000.

On May 9, more than 300 children from the local public school will be joining Neema students to run and participate in a fundraiser to provide them with free, trauma-informed counseling.

Today, you can be part of this community and equip these local school students with continued counseling services.

Empower them with the tools they need for a brighter future!

Kids! Run 5 laps and give $5 to show friendship from one schoolkid to another.

“My take-home is that I am not defined by my background, but by the effort and consistency I put in.”
