VHI Flora Women Mini Marathon for charity

We are delighted to announce that this year Ms Edna Lyatuu Hogan who resides in Dublin will be running the VHI Flora Women Mini Marathon again to raise money for our orphanage centre and other social enterprises in Tanzania.

Edna has been a great supporter of Amani orphanage for many years and she has done a lot for the centre-from donating computers, school essentials for our kids, food and money. To us she is a mother to our orphans, a sister to our volunteers and a friend to us all here.

Please join Edna at this year’s marathon and help her raise the much needed funds for our children and other charitable projects that she is very passionate about.
