Sponsored Events

AfriKids’ relies on the generosity of people prepared to give their time, effort and money to support our work. Countless individuals and groups have committed to undertaking a variety of challenges to raise money for AfriKids' work.. From climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or the Three Peaks Challenge to running marathons, half marathons and cycling across the country.

AfriKids buys places for events throughout the year such as the British 10k and Run to the Beat and we organise everything on behalf of the participants. All the participant has to think about is training for their challenge and fundraising. AfriKids provide runners with a detailed fundraising pack, full of tips and ideas on fundraising for sponsored events, as well as information on creating an online fundraising page and using social media to help generate donations. 

Sponsored events attract people from all walks of life; young people, corporates, families and they’re a great way to bring groups of people together with one common goal, especially in the work place. If you do not see a sponsored event on our website that interests you, why not find your own event, sign yourself up and we will then provide you with the same level of support from AfriKids to that of a charity place participant. We have fantastic resources to help with fundraising, loads of ideas and we’re willing to join your personal journey and provide moral support along the way.

So far this year we have had people taking part in the Marathon des Sables, Bath Marathon, Edinburgh Marathon, London to Paris Cycle, Antwerp 10 Miles and Luxembourg Marathon!
