Over the past two years, most of the Open Schools Worldwide projects in southern African countries were shut down due to COVID-19, leaving the vulnerable children which we serve at even greater risk, having been cut off from caring educators and care-givers. As a result they have an increased hunger and need for “hope through life-changing learning”. In addition we are receiving many new requests and opportunities, also in “new” countries.
This growing demand is presenting us with increased opportunities to help. Kilometers for Kids gives you a concrete channel to provide much-needed assistance which will directly aid these disadvantaged precious children. (Besides that, it’s an excellent reason to get out for some fresh air, exercise, and fun!)
Run, walk, or bike a number of kilometers (1 kilometer = 0.62 miles) on the weekend of (June 10th – 12th) and commit to donate a specific amount per kilometer. Even better, contact others (friends, relatives, classmates, teachers, colleagues …) who will commit to donate a specific amount for each kilometer which you will complete (A good goal would be to raise at least $10 per kilometer run or walked).
When you have completed your kilometers, calculate the amount you (and your donors) have raised, and simply donate it below (also instructing your donors to do the same).
You can complete these kilometers on your own or invite others to also join with you to help this cause. Feel free to share this event with others for even greater participation and help for more children.
Determine to give (and/or raise) as many dollars per kilometer as possible for the kilometers you will cover
If you are in the United States or Canada. Visit this page and click “Start a Fundraising Campaign…” You can create a campaign with your information and photo and share it with your supporters.
On June 10th – 12th, run, walk, bike as many kilometers as you are willing and able.
Multiply the amount of funds that were pledged per kilometer by the number of kilometers you covered on that weekend, and donate the generated totals.
All donations are powered by TeachBeyond.
