Race for Gift 2017: join us!
18 September 2019

Race for Gift is already almost an institution in Geneva. Each year, you have the opportunity to run 5 or 10 kilometres along a superb course on the shores of Lake Geneva, under the colours of an NGO of your choice. You can also choose to make a donation to the person who will wear these colours, whether it is a friend, a family member or a stranger you wish to support in their cause.

With registration now open for the 4ème edition of the race, which will take place on Sunday 21 May at the Rotonde du Mont Blanc, we have a question for you:

How about running alongside us for the street children of Cambodia?

.
This year, Aide et Action has set itself a major objective: raise CHF 20,000 in donations to contribute to the schooling of more than 2'000 street children in Cambodia. With your support, we can do it!

In this country, tens of thousands of children from marginalised communities live on the streets, day and night. Of course, this situation exposes them to serious dangers: trafficking, migration, forced labour, drugs, violence, sexual exploitation and abuse.... The lives of these children are characterised by a lack of medical care and education, risky jobs and deplorable living conditions.

Run with us, or donate to one of our runners, to get a child in Cambodia off the streets and into a specialised centre where they will be cared for, educated and reintegrated into public school. This child needs you!

So, are you interested in combining a sporting challenge with a commitment to solidarity for the children of Cambodia?
