Making fast work of fundraising: 57 employees from \u00cfDKIDS head office took part in the Braderie de Lille race to raise money for the foundation. It was a day full of solidarity and sportsmanship.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On 2 September, a group of \u00cfDKIDS community employees tackled the 10km (41 runners) and half-marathon (16 runners) courses at the Braderie de Lille. Their aim was to raise funds for the foundation to help vulnerable children.<\/p>\n

Each runner had to find sponsors from among their friends, family and co-workers who would donate an amount per kilometre (e.g. 50 cents, one\/five\/ten euros). In addition, \u00cfDKIDS pledged to double their sponsors\u2019 donations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The funds raised would go towards financing the education of 11-to-12-year-olds in Dhaka, with one year of education costing 100 euros. <\/strong>This schooling programme, supported by Oka\u00efdi since 2014, has helped to educate children from ten slums in Bangladesh. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a sterling group effort, the end result was a healthy 20,276 euros (<\/strong>10,388 euros donated by sponsors and doubled by \u00cfDKIDS) which will allow 200 children to be educated for a year.<\/strong><\/p>\n
