200 on their way for our 5th Anniversary
Number of orphans that we support varies from editions to another but we always aim at the same mission. We want to create opportunities to change orphans’ life by exploring their athletic abilities, engaging them with social activities and building their confidence. We also aim at building awareness for community to take care children in need. Until now, we were able to invite +500 orphans, and we intend to reach 1000 orphans within 3 years.
Values we want to spread in our projects:
With this race, many orphans get a new opportunity to be part of the society thanks to the power of running and generosity. It inspires all of us. Those values are very strong to anyone and can change people's life. Let's spread together the love of effort, fun & passion.
The Lakes Races is inviting more and more orphans from different locations. It started with 125 orphans from Que Huong Charity Center who were invited and sponsored in our first edition in April 2019. In the second edition in October 2019, 162 orphans from 5 different orphanages (Poussiere de Vie, Long Hoa, Picasso, Green Bamboo and Little Rose) were invited and sponsored. For the Third Edition 126 orphans joined the race despite the Covid Situation and 130 in our 4th edition (Christina Noble Charity Foundation).
For our 5th Anniversary coming on 04/06/2023, we aim to invite 200 orphans.

- Love: they will feel it all around them for that special day
