This Summer, Les Robertson and Rob Foxall Longboarded nearly 500km across Kenya to raise awareness and funds for the Sauder Africa Initiative: Social Entrepreneurship 101. They have been directly involved in delivering business, entrepreneurship, business planning education and mentorship in Kenya and seen the benefits this can have for youth there.

The Purpose: The skate adventure is to raise money to support the development of the Sauder Africa Initiative, a non-profit social development project, working to launch a permanent, year-round Centre for Youth Entrepreneurship. This Centre will provide stability and sustainability for the Kenyan youth who complete the SE101 3-week course and seek to start-up their business plans. We believe that providing consistent, quality education and mentoring to support young entrepreneurs year round in Kenya (rather than from Canada) will make even more meaningful and positive changes to the lives of these youths and future generations.

The Goal: To raise $20,000 needed launch the Centre.

The Challenge: To longboard from central Nairobi to coastal Mombasa – nearly 500 km – but we need your support. We will be filming the entire trip and updating the site with images, video and blog posts of our experience as web-connectivity permits, but hopefully daily. Anyone and everyone can help us support our goal – all support is very much appreciated.

This will be an epic journey and an amazing experience for all of us who are involved. Rob and Les are adventurous, but not professional longboarder’s in any way. Please support our efforts and those of the Sauder Africa Initiative. ALL MONEY RAISED WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE SE101 PROGRAM AND THE LAUNCH OF THE CENTRE!
