NGUVU RUNNING
From the Swahili word for “strength,” Nguvu Running is a charitable elite running group dedicated to the development of distance running talent. Our mission is to support talented athletes who live in poverty by providing a unique platform that combines elite athletics training and cultural exchange.
Our goal is to inspire and empower a generation of athletes to reach their full potential and demonstrate that, with inner strength, talent, and preparation, anything is possible.
Your support is vital to our mission. By partnering with Nguvu Running, you can help us provide the necessary resources, training, and support for our athletes. Contributions can be made in the form of financial support and equipment donations. All donations go to support the athletes.
