Strides For Africa 14th Annual Run/Walk • Madison, WI • August 19, 2023
Strides for Africa’s 14th Annual Run/Walk is a fun and family friendly event for all ages to participate and help us make global impact. We are holding an in-person event in downtown Madison on August 19, 2023 at McPike Park in Madison to kickoff Africa Fest 2023. There are many options available to participants including a 5K run, a 5K walk, a unique Team Relay (simulating rigors of gathering water in rural Africa), a 1.5 mile fun walk, and a kids fun run.
Our clean water, education, and health give back projects in Africa provide participants a unique opportunity to see positive outcomes within impoverished rural African communities. These outcomes include improved health, empowered youth, and ultimately transformed rural African communities. On the local level, our work provides an outlet for our participants and supporters an opportunity to be a global citizen.
Your Impact
Strides For Africa has aspirations for this year's event to spark community driven, sustainable clean water projects in both West and East Africa. Our goal is to raise $25,000 for the following projects:
- Two Water wells at schools/communities in rural Nimba County, Liberia ($7,400)
- Latrine/clean water project at a school in Tanzania ($7,000)
-Water collection System, Storage, and Filtering in Rwanda ($7,000)
- Water well at a school/community in Kabala, Sierra Leone ($3,600)
Every dollar raised goes directly to these projects.
