Be active this summer and raise awareness of global poverty at the same time! As you train for the race here in Colorado, our partners in Kenya are also in training – gaining valuable skills to grow and expand their social businesses for self-sustainability. As you swim, cycle and/or run through the race course, you are directly supporting social entrepreneurs who are taking strides to break the cycle of poverty. When you join The 1010 Project’s “E-RACE Poverty Challenge,” you become a partner in changing the world.

In 2009 we raised $4,000 to create a computer lab at Candlelight school. Last year we launched our first Global Entrepreneur Academy (GEA) in Nairobi. The 1010 Project’s goal is to raise $6,000 and enable 20 entrepreneurs to attend The GEA, a program that will change their lives, their families, and their communities forever!
