Capgemini is proud to announce our inaugural 5K Fun Run occurring in several locations across North America on April 19, 2008. Contributions will support Schools for Humanity, a charity committed to providing formal education to children in the underprivileged areas of the world.
Schools for Humanity is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement and learning for the world's disadvantaged children. Their mission is to ignite individual development by providing innovative educational solutions to children that would otherwise not have this opportunity. To do this, Schools for Humanity designs and develops schools that contain customized education solutions that augment and supplement existing educational institutions.
Schools for Humanity has a charter school project in Ethiopia, and an upcoming school refurbishment project in Mumbai, India. Additionally, there are plans to expand their efforts in Mexico and the US in the coming year.

100% of donations go directly to Schools for Humanity projects. No portion is kept for costs as Schools for Humanity is operated by volunteers. All the costs of running this public charity are covered by our core team. Donations of just $100 will pay a teacher's salary for one month, while $250 provides basic medical support for the whole school for a month. $900 will run the whole school for a month. You can help by registering for this year’s race!
