Motosumo’s global #TrainForSchools campaign raises $1,500 to support kids’ education in Kenya
Copenhagen, August 28, 2024: The #TrainForSchools campaign, a global initiative by Motosumo, the digital indoor cycling platform, wrapped up after another successful week of cycling with a purpose. Running from August 19-25, 2024 as part of Motosumo’s ongoing Cycle For Change series, the campaign united fitness enthusiasts worldwide to ride for another important cause — supporting education for children in Kenya. Participants collectively cycled an impressive 134,900 kilometers and rode for 5,100 hours, resulting in a $1,500 donation to the Human Practice Foundation (HPF) to fund a mobile science lab for Withare Primary School in the Maasai Mara region.
Kresten Juel Jensen, CEO of Motosumo, remarked: “The dedication and enthusiasm of our global community continue to inspire us. The collective effort of cycling thousands of kilometers isn’t just about fitness. We hope to create opportunities for children who need it the most. Our global community can make a visible and tangible difference, one ride at a time.”
Supporting kids´ education in Kenya
The funds raised through the #TrainForSchools campaign will go directly to equipping Withare Primary School, located in the Maasai Mara region of Kenya, with a mobile science lab. This initiative will significantly enhance the quality of science education for 7th to 9th-grade students.
Maja Buchhave Breiter, Project and Stakeholder Manager at HPF, highlighted the importance of the collaboration: “Thanks to Motosumo’s campaign and support, Withare Primary School will soon have access to a mobile science lab. This is a significant step toward improving the quality of education for the school’s students, empowering them with better opportunities for the future.”
Cycle for Change: Fitness for a Cause
The #TrainForSchools campaign is part of Motosumo’s broader Cycle For Change initiative, which unites the global indoor cycling community to support impactful causes through the power of collective, purposeful movement.
