I'm racing for Roselida!

Roselida and I are racing 10 kilometers in support of girls' education. Any money we raise goes directly to Daraja Academy in Kenya and Roselida's education. Thank you for your help! Or, as they say in Kenya, ASANTE SANA!

Roselida's Story

Roselida is a 14-year-old Luo girl from Dudu village in Migori county and will graduate from Daraja with the Class of 2028. She lives in a two-room mud and timber house with her mother and three younger siblings. To fetch water, the family must walk a journey of two kilometers each way to a river. Her mother did not finish primary school, and Roselida has faced interruptions to her education due to the lack of school fees.

Despite these challenges, Roselida has remained determined to continue learning. In primary school, she served as the school deputy president, showing leadership and responsibility. She loves reciting poems, singing, drawing, and playing football. Roselida dreams of becoming a doctor and hopes to provide affordable healthcare to vulnerable people, believing that all Kenyans should have equal opportunities.

For Roselida, Daraja is like one big family where she is given the space to reach her full potential.
