Children’s Running Clubs

Maasai village children

Red Knot Development helps launch and sustain youth running clubs throughout Tanzania in order to improve children’s lives.

Our running clubs aren’t only about running. Rather, we instill values and develop mental fortitude in children.

Healthy, supported youth are motivated to become successful and dedicated members of society.

Tanzanian children stretching for sports

We have been instrumental in the formation of more than 80 running clubs in Mara and Geita regions of Tanzania, impacting more than 2200 children’s lives.

We are currently involved in producing two new running clubs curricula — one religious and one non-religious — which will be adopted for use in at least six African countries.

We will begin field testing the new curricula in January.

$40 enables a child to participate in a running club for 6 months.

$170 funds an entire children’s running club for one month.
