Zainabia Child Sponsorship Scheme Appeal |

ZCSS Appeal: British 10K Runners Wanted Over the past 25 years, 50 000 students have benefited from contributions to the Zainabiya Child Sponsorship Scheme - which has helped educate children in order to help them out of poverty. The World Federation of KSIMC is looking for runners to take part in the British 10K Run on the 1st of July in London to raise money, through sponsorship, for more children to be educated through this scheme. The vast majority of the students are in India, but students are also educated in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, Kenya, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Thailand and Uganda. The mission statement has always been to "eradicate poverty through education" - and currently the Scheme sponsors approximately 13,500 students. In 2005, 10 runners took part on behalf of the World Federation of KSIMC to raise money for the Aeinullah Eye Clinic in Baghdad - and this year we are looking for more participants to help our efforts in raising more funds for this cause. Participants must be aged 15 years or older on race day and will also enjoy a scenic route, past many of London 's major landmarks. Hijab must be observed. Please see http://www.thebritish10klondon.co.uk/ for further information on the race and the route. If you would like to register for this race, or for further information, please email
