The Run for Rain Mission

The RainBank is the Kitui Green Run’s impact model. Every kilometre run is linked to a specific, visible water outcome — school rainwater harvesting, community storage points, or sand dams along the 21 KM Rain Corridor. An annual impact report verifies the results.
Green Africa Group produces an annual Run for Rain Impact Summary. Primary metric: water capacity created or protected, verified through project documentation — locations, photos, and partner sign-offs.
