Run To End Poverty

Run to End Poverty - Non-Profit - www.runtoendpoverty.ca

Run To End Poverty (R2EP) is a team of compassionate runners united for a common cause – to bring an end to extreme poverty in Africa. Since 2007, hundreds of runners across Canada and Africa have run together to raise awareness about extreme poverty, and to build support for Engineers Without Borders’ (EWB) innovative development efforts in Africa.

Each R2EP running event is partnered with a run in developing communities in Ghana, Malawi, Zambia and Burkina Faso, where EWB and African partner organizations are working hard to build local capacity and create positive change. Through this connection, we hope to breakdown stereotypes of poverty and change perceptions of the benefits of development by sharing stories of the skillful, optimistic, and entrepreneurial Africans who create opportunity in their communities.

Run To End Poverty would like Free Range to help us spread this unique project to a wider audience by building a rich website experience and marketing strategy that will attract thousands of runners and scores of supporters in 2011 and beyond. We hope to incorporate innovative blogging and social networking capabilities to directly connect Canadian runners and supporters with runners and development partners in several African communities.
