Team TOUCH Irelands Runamuck Fundraiser 2025!!
5.5km of an Obstacle Course in the Mud!
Can you join us on our Team, or could you please sponsor one of us who are on the Team
The money raised from Team TOUCH Ireland's Runmuck 2024 fundraising saw the completion of Namakaka School in the remote village Namakaka in the southern Province of Zambia. (2023's fundraising went towards the foundation slab) A huge thank you to everyone who was part of Team TOUCH Ireland in previous years or who supported and Sponsored a team member ( As always, All money raised for TOUCH Ireland goes directly to the projects. There is NEVER any admin taken from fundraising)
Namakaka Community School is now open and is at the heart of the Community, with so many Children benefitting from it daily.
Namakaka Village is extremely remote. it is isolated for five months in the rainy season. it takes about 5 hours to reach it in a 4x4. As always with TOUCH Ireland projects, our aim here is that the projects are a partnership between TOUCH Ireland, our Supporters (funding), the Zambian Government through the Ministry of Education (Providing Teachers and School Materials where possible) and through the Local Community through support and involvement in whatever way possible. It is so great to see it working!
This year, the money raised will be a going towards a Teachers House, which will hopefully result in another paid government teacher. the attached video provides an update on the Namakaka Teachers House https://youtu.be/VboDkfQtk74
We will also be fundraising to build a New Nursery Block and Teacher's House in the Western Province of Zambia.
