Edinburgh Marathon 2010: Sunday 23rd May
How to secure your place If you are interested in running for MicroLoan, you will need to pledge to raise £1,000 to support our expansion programmes in Africa. Please send us an email expressing your interest or alternatively call us on 020 8996 1730. We will then email you a form which we will ask you to complete to guarantee your place. Upon receipt of this form, we will send you a fundraising and training pack and provide you with all the support we can to assist you with your training. If you have your own place in the marathon, we'd love you to join our team if you are able to raise £1,000 towards our work. Please send an email to the above address and let us know. We look forward to you joining the MicroLoan Foundation team! How your support can help Justina Kayuni
Justina is a widow with four children to support. Although she did not go to tailoring school, Justina is a successful, talented seamstress who has taught herself how to sew. She is part of a group in Rumphi, northern Malawi, and often makes clothes for her group to wear.
Since joining the MicroLoan Foundation, Justina is much more happy and confident in life and has no struggles as a widow: "I send my child to secondary school. Since I am a widow, I have to provide everything myself." Justina also enjoys going to the bank herself to be able to collect her savings.
Justina aspires to open her own tailoring school in the future so that she can help other women to have a life as successful as hers. She also plans to learn how to knit so that she can diversify her business and feel comfortable about her future .
