At UWC East Africa, fundraising is not just about raising money — it is about bringing our community together around a shared purpose. Our events celebrate the diversity, energy, and spirit of our students, staff, and families, while directly supporting the scholarships that make our mission possible. Throughout the year, we come together to run, cheer, and give because every step taken on our campus is a step toward a student’s future.
The 24-Hour Run
The 24 Hour Run is one of our most beloved annual traditions. Every year, our entire community of students, staff, parents, and alumni comes together in Moshi for a 24-hour team relay that is as much a celebration of who we are as it is a fundraiser.
Established by our African sister school, Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa, this event has become a cornerstone of the UWC East Africa calendar.
Over the years, the 24 Hour Run has become one of our most exciting traditions, bringing our community together while raising vital support for the UWCEA Scholarship Fund. Teams can be sponsored either through a one-time donation or based on the number of laps they complete during the 24 hours.
Every lap run is a reminder of why we do what we do and every donation goes directly toward ensuring that exceptional students from across the world can access a UWC East Africa education.
