Another Run for Hope in Togo!

In Togo too, children are mobilizing to help the most vulnerable!

At the beginning of the year, another edition of La Course de l’Espoir took place in Togo. Supported by a large number of students, this sporting and solidarity event resulted in an impressive fund-raising effort. Explanations.

Over 300 runners mobilized!

On Saturday January 27, the 4th edition of La Course de l’Espoir took place at the Kégué stadium. Organized byArc-en-Ciel International School in aid of La Chaîne de l’Espoir, the event brought together over 300 motivated and committed students.

It should be noted that this new edition of the solidarity race also saw the participation of four other schools, namely :

The British School of Lomé,
École la Madone Togo,
Alpha School,
The SOS School of Tema in Ghana

A young girl at the Children's Pavilion in Kabul

500 CFA francs for each lap completed

For this new Course de l’Espoir, each participant was issued with a race number and a badge featuring a QR Code. The aim was to count the number of laps completed. Each lap was used to collect money.

Encouraged during the 2-hour run by their parents and members of the La Chaîne de l’Espoir office in Togo, the students managed to raise a total of 3,363,263 FCFA, or 3,600 euros. And on March 6, a cheque was presented to our association.

Many thanks to the students and their parents for their commitment!

This wonderful event will contribute to the care of sick children during the itinerant pediatric surgery mission planned for July in Tchamba, a small town some 400 km from Lomé.
