Here’s how to get involved:

• Pledge to raise £50 for the Commonwealth Girls Education Fund (CGEF).
• Email CGEF Trustee and 10k Coordinator Jagravi Upadhyay, at with a short message saying “I would like to join the 10k team”.
• You will receive a follow up email and we will then post a CGEF t-shirt for you to wear on your 10k.
• Head out for a 10k walk, jog or run in your local area on Sunday 15th August.
• Take lots of photos, tag us on social media, or just send them in…we’d love to see them!

It’s really that simple - only £50 and 13,000 steps could help us make an invaluable difference to the lives of bright but disadvantaged girls across the Commonwealth.

The Board of Trustees and the Executive Committe of the Commonwealth Countries League (CCL) presented CGEF Trustees with a generous donation of £20K in lieu of funds which would have been raised at the Annual Commonwealth Fair. The fair is organised by the CCL and typically held in the month of November at the Kensington Town Hall in London, UK.

Chairwoman Cecilia Muchemi presented the cheque to the CGEF  Trustees during March - recognised internationally as the women's month - and in celebration of the International Women's Day and Commonwealth Day, which were both held on the same day this year. 

Chair of the Trustees Sir Peter Heap represented the CCL Board of Trustees and said that they are still committed to supporting the CGEF cause in line with their values and mission.

At CGEF we sponsor the secondary education of hundreds of able but financial deprived girls who would otherwise not have had the opportunity to receive an education.

Despite the challenge of a global pandemic, many of the girls we support have successfully passed their National exams and are now aspiring to higher education. 🏫

🙌 We are proud of their resilience and ⭐ celebrate all our girls, and the many women who support us around the Commonwealth 🌎
