“While our objective is to keep fit, network , have fun and also participate in corporate social responsibility, the issue of supporting the girl-child is also key. We want to ensure we continue keeping the girl-child in school. We therefore want to support more girls this year,” Asiimwe said.
He said proceeds from the two previous editions of the run have supported over 10,000 girls in ensuring that they continue their education amidst the different challenges that they face, adding that they hope to continue with this trajectory.
“In the previous two editions, shs 500 million has been collected to going for girl child education – shs 200 million in 2023 and shs300 million in 2024. This funding has directly supported over 10,000 girls, providing them with opportunities they might not otherwise have had.”
According to the Absa Interim Managing Director, David Wandera, “The Absa KH3 7 Hills Run is more than just a race; it’s a movement for change. Education is the cornerstone of a brighter future for our girls and a more equitable society so by participating, runners are directly investing in the potential of young women in Uganda.”
Funds raised through the run are channeled through impactful programmes implemented by reputable organizations such as the Joshua Cheptegei Foundation, Baylor College’s DREAMS program, Amref Health Africa, Windle International, World Vision, IYAWE, TERREWODE, Wakisa Ministries and Mukono High School. These organizations work tirelessly to address the diverse challenges that prevent girls from staying in school.
Officials said the run’s popularity has surged, with participation increasing by 50% from 2,600 runners in 2023 to 6,000 in 2024.
Godfrey Lule, the Director of Sales and Marketing at Bakaima Real Estates said they have donated a 50ft by 100ft plot of land in their Mpigi estate along the Kampala -Masaka Highway.
“This is part of our corporate social responsibility to give back to society through such events like the Absa KH3-7 Hill run,” Lule said.
