THE POVERTY WALK CHALLENGE 4 AFRICA: Would you and your family walk, run, or bike for 5 days (3/28-4/1/2022) in support of K12 students in rural Africa who walk 5 to 10 miles to and from school each day? This challenge is a virtual poverty simulation, personal journey, family fitness event, and fundraising event in which K12 students and their families, college students, and adults will collectively walk, run, or bike at least 10 miles in 5 days, from Monday, March 28- Friday, April 1st, 2022.

Too many children in rural and impoverished Africa get up in the wee hours of the morning, 4 to 5 am to walk 5 to 10 miles on dusty and unsafe roads to and from schools that lack basic school supplies and exclude children with disabilities.  Middle school girls in the villages of Tongon, Drissafogo, Kationron, and many other villages in the north of Cote d'Ivoire reported being raped while walking to and from school. No girls should be subjected to this level of trauma while walking 5-10 miles to school.  Games For Africa stand for and in support of the voiceless girls. We are raising money to protect them from sexual predators by purchasing a bus to transport them to school and improve their academic skills.

Games For Africa provides personalized academic support and STEM education to hundreds of K12 students in Cote d'Ivoire, Benin, and Togo. We appreciate your support.

Sincerely,

Games For Africa
