SportingProud/Kathleen's kids Fundraising Project 2010
Kathleen’s Kids is a charity which supports a Medical Missionary of Mary outpost near Makondo ,Uganda - an area cruelly devastated by Aids. Almost two generations of adults have been wiped out leaving countless children orphaned, alone to fend for themselves. But for Sister Kathleen and her Medical Missionary colleagues, these children would have no hope.
The monies raised by this triathlon, will provide :
A vital daily meal for one year (milk, soya and egg) for 150 toddlers at St Kitzos Nursery School in Makondo , run by Sister Kathleen.
Seven houses HIV/Aids stricken families (solid floor, brick wall, a rain butt , outside latrine and corrugated iron roof )
Funding and training for one teacher at the nursery school.

Whilst fundraising for the centre is underway, the People behind the project have already put in place Ireland's first Down Syndrome Liaision nurse.
