About Rise Kenyan Youth Running Program
A teacher in the Small Solutions Rise Kenyan Youth programs, Mercy Nwabile,  wanted to start sports programs to compliment our technologye based learning programs.  advancing our mission and inspiring the community.  A Kenyan coach with friends in Newburyport offered to start our Kenyan  program.Bukokolo Village village is isolated from the running activites many 80mmiles away.  None of the students knew about running training or racing. However they have attended the Chepsaita race with financial support from Small Solutions.    Some are very talented and placed well.  We'd like to provide them with running shoes, more training and opportunities to compete.    IF YOU ARE RUNNING THE BOSTON MARATHON run to rhelp aise funds for these children :   Send us your contact information and we will provide you with Ba packet and Pledge sheets and lots of support for your run.   email@[email protected]

​Annual Service & Safari Trip 2026
With Rise Kenyan Youth 
The Safari with Samantyl Travels was an invigorating and transforming part of the year's visit 
​
Being among so much wildlife, witnessing lions tracking game,  bright pink flamingos lifting their delicate wings, elands, gazelles and antelope with curving antlers, and all the delicate shades of reds and browns, is something you can never forget.
