Organiser's description

Come run or walk for shoes! 5K run/ 2 mile walk/ .5 mile kid's run: funds raised during this year's annual Safe Home Walk/ Run for Global Hands of Hope will go toward SHOE MAKING EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING, enabling ghoh to construct black leather school shoes for every student at Suubi. Funds raised will also provide for expenses associated with the Safe Homes for young girls and boys at risk for abuse or already experiencing abuse in the village of Bukeka, Uganda. Global Hands of Hope Uganda (https://ghoh.org/), in partnership with Lifesong for Orphans (https://lifesong.org/), over the last several years has built 3 Safe Homes for over 300 girls and boys attending the Suubi ("Hope") School. This annual Walk/Run provides income for four full-time "House Moms" (social workers) caring for these precious girls and boys.
