Our Impact So Far
The Kandara Education Marathon is more than a race—it is a commitment to transforming lives through education. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, runners, donors, and supporters, deserving students have been given the opportunity to pursue their education and achieve their dreams.
In 2026, we sponsored 22 students to join secondary school.
Our pioneer beneficiaries are now transitioning to universities and colleges across the country.
More than 50 students have benefited from educational support through the Kandara Education Marathon.
For many of these students, the marathon has been more than financial support—it has been the difference between giving up on a dream and pursuing it.
What Makes Our Scholarship Program Unique?
This is not a one-time bursary. Every scholarship supports a student throughout their entire secondary school education.
Our support includes:
✅ Four years of secondary school sponsorship
✅ Tuition and school fees
✅ School uniforms and shopping
✅ Books and learning materials
✅ Student upkeep and essential support
By removing the financial barriers that prevent bright students from staying in school, we give them the opportunity to focus on learning, growing, and building a brighter future.
Our Vision for 2027
In 2027, we aim to sponsor 30 additional students while continuing to support our existing beneficiaries as they progress through secondary school and into higher education.
Together, we can ensure that even more deserving students have the opportunity to learn, dream, and succeed.
