Strides for Africa is a fun event for all ages to participate and an opportunity for you to have a role improving lives of people in rural Africa through clean water, education, and health projects. This event will return to being in-person on Saturday, August 21st to open Africa Fest. This event will also have a virtual option in 2021. There are many options available to participants including a 5K run, 5K walk, a unique Team Relay, a 1.5 mile fun walk, and a kids fun run.
Our clean water, education, and health projects in Africa provide participants a unique opportunity to see outcomes within impoverished African communities for better health, empowered youth, and ultimately transformed communities.
