A race brings awareness to need in Kenya.

Kenya (MNN)–Kenya’s First International Women’s AIDS Run attracted more than 10,000 participants last month.

The 10K event took place in Nairobi to express the women’s solidarity and dedication to fight the spread of AIDS in their country.

Kenya’s First Lady led the race, which was also endorsed by several government ministers. World Vision supported the event by providing some $60,000 toward the event and recruited more than 3,000 participants.

World Vision, driven by faith, partners to enable the world’s children to realize their God-given potential by tackling the root causes of poverty. Through that work, the love of Christ is seen tangibly by those recieving help.
