Miles “FOUR” Mitrata Kids 2023
For the fourth year, one of our most popular events, Miles for Mitrata Kids (M4MK) is back for 2023.
Once again, we invite you and your entire family to participate as an individual or a team and join us in supporting the health and well-being of children in Nepal.
However, this year’s event is going to look a little different. In the past, M4MK has been a month long fundraising event, in which participants gain “miles” by walking, running, hiking, biking, swimming, or any other activity you choose to raise funds. Now, you have the opportunity to choose your own duration between May 1, 2023 and November 30, 2023. We know that many people are busy throughout the month of June, or have activities planned for other months, so we have expanded Miles for Mitrata Kids to allow more flexibility for more participants!
Mitrata-Nepal Foundation for Children has set out to raise $30,000 to support our Contact Center program and the children it serves!
All proceeds from Miles for Mitrata Kids will benefit the Contact Center, Mitrata's early childhood center which serves our most vulnerable and at-risk children during a critical period of their lives. Our Contact Center provides children 3-10 years old with an educational foundation in a nurturing, loving environment, similar to the Montessori model. The children enter at the preschool level, are taught basic skills, including reading, writing and an introduction to English. They are also provided with hygiene education, health care, and two high-quality protein-rich meals each day.
Registration begins TODAY, May 1, 2023!
As an added inspiration, everyone who participates in Miles for Mitrata Kids will receive a free t-shirt!
When you begin to fundraise, and how long you fundraise for is totally up to you! For example, some people may fundraise for a few months leading up to a big fall event. Others may set a goal to accomplish, such as getting 10,000 steps every day for the month of June, and only fundraise throughout that month. We know that this much freedom in the event may make it difficult to choose an activity, so over the next few weeks, we will be sharing the stories of past, and current M4MK participants that will hopefully inspire your participation.
So get creative, set a goal, and get active for a great cause this summer!
