WALK WITH KUMBATIO 2022

For the past 12 years, Kumbatio has provided shelter, education and a place of belonging for the children of Thika. We strongly believe that every child deserves a place they call home and in which they feel safe. Our goal is to create a better future for these children than the future they would have had without our help. Education plays a crucial role in solving inequality. By providing the right forms of education and by teaching several skills, families learn how to become self-sufficient in the world of today. We work together with a team in Kenya consisting of a social worker and a psychologist. Here, the focus lies on providing the children and their families with a strong basis so the children can eventually return back to their families. 

THE KIOTA DREAM

Each day we get one step closer to reaching our long-awaited dream: The Kiota Dream. In 2021 we bought our own piece of land where we build a safe community, family houses and a training center. This provides our staff and our children with all that is needed to fully focus on working, living and education.

Dream big!
In Walk with Kumbatio 3.0, we challenge participants to virtually walk (or run, bike, you name it!) with us to Thika, Kenya. The distance on land is approximately 10.000 km.

In previous editions we have seen that everything is possible when working towards a shared passion. Together with many enthusiastic participants, we raised € 27.774,- in 2021. This year, we dare to aim even higher: the goal is to reach € 40.000,-, enough to build a community training center on site.

From capital to capital - now in Sofia-Bulgaria

08-09-2022 | 12:49 We're having a good time going from capital to capital. Last Monday we arrived just before Sofia. We have seen a beautiful part of Serbia of which this part - the south of Serbia - had a lot of mountains. But... the more beautiful and.... the heavier!  In the place Jagodina, around 135 km after Belgrado in Serbia, we have enjoyed of the biggest Aquapark of Serbia to the fullest: Aquapark Jagodina. It has 9 slides winding round from top until you end up in the water and it has 7 different swimmingpools. We have been there for half a day not to loose time too much. It was lovely!  Nice to know: jagoda means strawberry and one of the stories is that the name of the town has been derived from it. Then the question is: are there a lot of strawberries around?  Another nice highlight was Nature Park Sicevo Canyon with the Sicevo Gorge. A rocky area cut by a river and pure nature! We have spent the night here as well and the view in the morning was amazing! It was nice to see that we were really in this together and that we waited for each other there where possible. But some of us passed the border sooner than others. The real die-hards like Louis, Leon, Lisanne, Nienke, Patrick, Lobke en Yvette. And even when we lost each other along the way, at our last stop in Sofia, we met again! Right, the Warriors... Have there been shifts or not? Yes, yes, there have been shifts in this 7th stage! > the Warrior of walking: with a few percentage difference with Nienke: Lisanne! 🎈🎉 > the Warrior of running: just like said last time, Leon was followed very closely by Patrick and he has overtaken him! 🎇🎆 But both have got to their goal distance: Patrick has passed it with 8,5% and Leon with 0,5%. Patrick is still going to continue. And Leon?  > the Warrior of cycling: Tobya has been caught up by Ria and therefor Ria is the Warrior of cyling!  ✨🎉 > the Warrior of race cycling: well, well, well, because Louis has always been the Warrior and Yvette has also reached her goal distance, Yvette is the Warrior this time!  👊🏽🤸🏽‍♀️🤸🏽‍♂️ But also Louis has reached his goal distance! Whether they will continue, is not clear. Yvette will put more efforts on fundraising, because that is the goal in general eventually! It is not clear whether she will cover more kilometers while fundraising. CONGRATULATIONS ALL! 🍹🥂 WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUPPORT? To sponsor one of our participants or this project in general, is easy to be done here!
