Virtual Super Marathon
Join our Virtual Super Marathon to help us raise £35,000 for a replacement vehicle for Imprezza Academy! We want to see how many times we can cover the distance from Torquay to Busia in Kenya, site of Imprezza Academy. A one way trip is 6,500 miles, and you can use any means of self propulsion to help us get there - walking/running/cycling/swimming/rowing are all good!
Our old vehicle died last year, and an appropriate replacement is desperately needed. The roads are unmade, rutted and in the rainy season become mudbound. The vehicle has been used for school transport and for emergencies, as a delivery van, an ambulance and a taxi. It has been used to fetch and carry personnel and educational materials (including chemicals for exams), transport staff when visiting the Education Department Offices, used as a security vehicle to carry Exam papers, ferry food to and from market, carry sick and ill students to hospital, carry building materials when construction is required.
Without a vehicle, money and time is being spent hiring cars, expensive taxis, motorbikes or using buses not to mention the poor state of the roads and the danger of riding a motorbike taxi. During the pandemic students had to live out in the community and be visited regularly by staff, this became near impossible.
