How we create impact

Three programs. One shared goal.

KmForEducation is a student-led movement. We mobilise sport, unused campus resources and university knowledge so that more children get a fair start at school.

Program 01

RUN

Move for education.

We transform the sports students already do into a way of responding to educational needs identified directly by local associations.

A run story

A community run with a purpose

During the summer of 2026, we partnered with run clubs across two continents to turn their regular runs into an opportunity to donate school supplies for children whose families could not afford to buy them. 

385 children were assisted with these materials in Sep. 2026!

Runclub for education network

Become part of our run club network, where periodically a regular weekly run becomes a charity one for a cause. 

Race bib for education

Get a free charity bib for any race in exchange for fundraising a set amount for our education programs.

Helping through running

Outdoor activities with children from partner organizations, designed to help them learn, grow and build confidence through sports.

Program 02

GIVE

Give resources one more kilometer.

Students are very close to places (universities, schools, student residences, etc.) where perfectly usable material is thrown away every year. We collect it, sort it and give it a second life with families and organizations who need it.

Program 03

SHARE

Share what you know.

The most valuable thing a university student owns is time, knowledge and proximity. Our volunteers sit down with children and teenagers to study, explore higher education options and show that university is a place that we all belong to.

An afternoon of learning together

University volunteers sit alongside children to work through homework, answer questions and make unfamiliar subjects feel possible — one patient conversation at a time.
