A teacher in the Small Solutions Rise Kenyan Youth programs, Mercy Nwabile, STARTED this RUNNING  PROGAM with funds and a coach provided by donations to Small Solutions Inc.  .  None of the students knew about running training or racing. However somehave attended the Chepsaita race with financial support.  We'd like to provide them with running shoes, more training and opportunities to compete.    IF YOU ARE RUNNING THE BOSTON MARATHON run to help raise funds for these children :  CLICK ON THE BUTTON ABOVE  and we will provide you with a 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.
