About Noriko's Fundraiser
RUN, a Hong Kong charity, provides sports and education programmes to rehabilitate vulnerable refugees, focusing on women.
On Saturday 10 November, I will be participating in their 2nd annual charity event - 14km "race" (however given the close to 900m of elevation, it will defintely be a walk for me...)
I would very much welcome any additional donation you may be able to provide.
About RUN
RUN serves approximately 100 vulnerable refugees from 17 different countries across Africa, Middle East and South Asia. This number continues to grow.
- Over 70% have suffered from horrendous human rights abuses, including torture, rape, physical and mental abuse or a combination of these.
- 65% are female; 30% of the women participants are alone without family or alone with their children.
- 6% of the participants are/were unaccompanied minors.
Core programmes include Hike to Heal for Women, Mixed Gender Track Training and Study and Mentorship.
