Rahma means compassion. Run for a cause, feed a family.

The Rahma Run brings runners, walkers and families together in Karura Forest before Ramadan. Every registration helps fund Islamic Relief Kenya's Ramadan food programme, so families in need can break their fast with a good meal.

Can't be in Nairobi? Join from anywhere in the world as a virtual runner. Run your distance where you are, share your time and we will post your T-shirt and medal.

Ramadan Food Packs for families in Kenya

Every Ramadan Food Pack gives a family 70 kg of food for the whole month of Ramadan.

Many families in Kenya begin Ramadan worried about the next meal. Keeping the fast is not the hard part; finding something to break it with is.

Your sign-up and fundraising help Islamic Relief Kenya deliver Ramadan Food Packs, so families can sit down to suhoor and iftar together and spend the blessed month in worship instead of worry.
