Freedom Yoga Marathon

Purpose of Event:

Our Champion, Olerato Yoga and her Yoga friends, are hosting a Yoga Marathon as a fundraiser for us to continue our work and mission to keep 1 million girls in school over the next 5 years and gift them with period freedom. 

Olerato Yoga aims to redefine African wellness through yoga. Since most of the girls participating in our program have experienced trauma, yoga is one method we give girls access to, that will we facilitate holistic health: a journey to healing and self-love.

More than 50% of girls are unable to manage their period adequately and lack basic hygiene and clothing necessities as they enter adolescence, but we aim to change that so that they can stay in school.

So join our Yoga Marathon as we hold a space for joy, to celebrate our freedom to flow, love, grow, heal through yoga and attain period freedom in our generation.
