My Story…

Back in 2010, when I was fresh out of high school, I visited Burundi and the DRC. My experiences there changed the trajectory of my career and my passions. I've been working with vulnerable populations ever since, across Canada and abroad. I currently sit as the Secretary on CC4Africa's Board of Directors and found that the Run Ottawa marathon was the perfect way to start sharing CC4Africa's accomplishments and goals in the Ottawa-Gatineau area. Next year, I will be training for the full marathon!

Description

CC4Affrica promeut l'éducation et la santé des femmes et des enfants affligés par le conflit au Burundi et en RDC. Nous sommes les seuls bailleurs de fonds pour environ 80 garçons et filles qui vivaient auparavant dans la rue à Gitega, au Burundi. Chaque dollar que nous récoltons servira à payer pour les fournitures scolaires, les uniformes, les repas nutritifs et les activités des enfants (5 500 dollars canadiens par semestre). L'avenir de l'Afrique réside dans l'éducation des jeunes Africains qui s'engagent à rendre leurs communautés plus fortes. Pour plus de renseignements, visiter le site www.CC4Africa.ca 


CC4Africa promotes education and health among women and children affected by conflict in Burundi and the DRC. We are the sole funders for about 80 boys and girls who were previously street-living in Gitega, Burundi. Every dollar that we raise will go towards school supplies, uniforms, nutritional meals and activities for the children ($5,500 CAD per semester). The future of Africa lies in the education of young Africans who are committed to making their communities stronger. Find out more at www.CC4Africa.ca
