We are excited to be running the Lantau Trail 70 to fundraise for Learning Spaces, a Viva program which provides education for children at risk. Join us, whether you want to run in the race or make a donation, so that together, we can help more children live life in all its fullness.
All of the funds raised will go towards implementing the Learning Spaces program.
To sign up, follow these simple steps:
Register for the Lantau Trail 70 here, either as a solo runner, or form a team of 4 to run the relay with you. (If you are interested to run in the relay, but can’t find enough people, contact us at hk@viva.org and we might be able to help you find a team.) Runners are responsible for the registration fee.
Register with Viva with the form below.
Create your personal Give.Asia fundraising page here by clicking on “Fundraise for Event”. Relay teams can create 1 page for the whole team, or individual pages per runner if you would like.
Get your family, friends, colleagues, classmates, teachers, landlord, insurance agent (really anyone!) to sponsor your run.
Train, warm up, stay safe, and enjoy the run, knowing the difference you are making!
Lantau 70
The Lantau 70 is a classic event that takes runners 70km across Hong Kong’s largest island, traversing diverse landscapes from Mui Wo Beach to Sunset and Lantau Peaks, to Ngong Ping, to Tai O, to Shek Pik Reservoir, to Pui O, and back to Mui Wo. For competitive elites, this is one of the races to conquer, but the team relay is much more manageable for those up for a meaningful challenge.
Learning Spaces
Learning Spaces is a program co-developed with a Viva-supported network, CarNetNepal, to provide remedial education and psychosocial support to vulnerable and disadvantaged children with little access to education or at risk of dropping out of school.
In a context where early child marriages, child labour, and child trafficking is still prevalent, education is a crucial way to keep children safe, and equip them with the skills to thrive. Watch this video to learn more.
Each Learning Space has an average of 25 students, and is usually hosted by a local church, which provides the space and utilities for free. Because of this, HK$75,000 is enough to run a Learning Space for 1 year, providing the salary for 2 trained mentors, 1 nutritious meal a day for the 25 students, school materials (books, stationary, school bags, furniture, WASH kits, etc.), good parenting workshops, community awareness and advocacy campaigns, and program administration, monitoring, and evaluation.
The Learning Spaces program has developed a three year self-sufficiency plan to become funded through local community ownership. This means after the initial seed-funding, each Learning Space location targets to become sustainable without external funding after three years on average. This means your contribution will make a long-lasting and holistic impact for the most vulnerable children far into the future.
