Help Hannah raise money

For participating in Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Virtual Race 2020

My Story…

Hi! This year, although we won't be running the race all together, we'll be doing it virtually! I will be participating in a Marathon relay and raising donations for Tonembee Association, based in Toronto, Canada and Kithuia, Kenya. All funds go directly to the people of Kithuia where Nicholas Kithembe, a board director at Tonembee, lives and distributes the funds to provide the residents with what they need, be that masks and COVID-safety training, solar cookers, safety training for young women, and more. The village of Kithuia has been hard hit this year, first with swarms of locusts and now COVID-19.

Description

Tonembee sponsors watch a deserving student make their way through a high school or university education. They see families use solar cookers, improving their health and environment or happily watch a family move back into a re-built house after a devastating flood. Our person to person approach means having regular access to the people you are helping in a meaningful way. 100% of donation funds go directly to Kithuia Village, Kenya. 


Our ongoing goal this year is to help the village get their own solar cooker manufacturing company off the ground and turned into a sustainable cottage industry. www.tonembee.com
