On June 24th, 2024, Moi Kapsowar Girls High School organised a highly successful Charity and Conservation Half Marathon, drawing participants from all over the region. The event aimed at promoting environmental sustainability and supporting underprivileged students which was a remarkable success, highlighting the school’s commitment to holistic education and community engagement.

The marathon saw over 500 runners, including students, teachers, parents, and local community members, come together to run for a cause. The scenic route took participants through some of the most beautiful and ecologically significant areas in Kapsowar, highlighting the urgent need to protect these natural resources.

The event featured a variety of activities, including tree planting, and educational workshops on environmental conservation. Students, teachers, parents, and local volunteers participated enthusiastically, showcasing a united front in the fight against environmental degradation. The tree planting initiative was particularly impactful, with over 500 indigenous trees planted in the school compound and surrounding areas. This effort not only contributes to reforestation but also serves as a living classroom for the students to learn about the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem preservation.

Funds raised from the marathon will go towards scholarships and educational resources for students from low-income families, high achieving students and ensuring they have the opportunity to pursue their studies without financial barriers.

The event was graced by several local dignitaries and environmental activists, who commended the school for its initiative.
