H lives with chronic deteriorating lung disease, which means he spends a lot of time in and out of hospital. Keeping up with his friends on their bikes was becoming a real challenge due to his limited lung capacity. That’s when his mum reached out to us for help—and we were thrilled to support him by funding an E-Bike.
Now, not only is H keeping up with his friends, but he’s also overtaking them with his new wheels! His mum shared that this bike has truly transformed his life, and we think his amazing smile says it all.
This is just one example of the meaningful impact we aim to have here in north east Scotland—helping make life a little easier, bringing joy, and creating lasting memories for children living with disabilities and their families.
Thank you for your continued support in making moments like these possible!

Sundari sponsored Rael for 9 years, and we couldn’t imagine a more beautiful discourse as Rael completed her educational journey; graduating from University. 👩🏾🎓
“This is a beautiful letter from Rael one that I will treasure all my life and I will think fondly of her flourishing in her career and personal life. It was my privilege to help her on her journey.” - Sundari
The exchange of words that fill our hearts with pride and joy 🧡

Iten : the Home of Champions
Back in July, as part of a running training camp in Kenya, Westlake Boys High School from New Zealand visited our team in Iten to see how we support the local community.
A big thank you to @running_trips_official ‘Kenya Experience’ who take time out of their camp training schedule and bring along their guests to visit our base and families.
July 2026 will see our own GEF guests travel to Kenya from far and wide for a special building project. The volunteers will build four new homes, similar to the houses in the photos below.
More information coming soon. 😄

This Christmas siblings Ann, Abi and Fidelis will now have the opportunity of a good nights sleep 🛏️ 💤
Thank you to the Wignall family in England who purchased this gift through our online shop, all the children in this household no longer have to squeeze together or sleep on the floor. 🙏🏻
This generous donation has provided much-needed relief to the family; a good nights sleep is essential for their well-being and overall quality of life. 🧡
