Uganda Marathon 2020
Raise funds, visit our work and explore beautiful Uganda!
25th– 31st May 2020
Masaka, Uganda
Join Team Aidlink and travel to Uganda this May to run, walk or crawl one of the best marathons in the world and raise vital funds for Aidlink’s projects in Uganda. If running is not your thing, join the volunteer team and participate in the full week of activities.
Aidlink is an official charity partner of the Uganda Marathon for 2020. Set up in 2015, the founders of the Uganda Marathon wanted to show people from all over the world the beauty of Uganda, the fantastic warm, friendly welcome of its people and the amazing story of hope and promise in the country, as well as raising funds to help local communities.
idlink has worked in Uganda for over 20 years empowering and enabling communities through agriculture, water and education. In Masaka, our work is centred around improving farming techniques, ensuring all children have equal access to education and building the capacity of local organisations so that they can become instigators of change.
We are now recruiting for our team in 2020. Join Team Aidlink for an adventure like no other and the chance to make a difference to the lives of some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in Uganda.
