On September 9, 2021, Eliud Kipchoge, the reigning Olympic champion and world marathon record holder, unveiled the Eliud Kipchoge Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on education and environmental conservation.
The foundation's goals include sponsoring school fees, building libraries, and inspiring people through the importance of education and the power of books.
On the environmental front, the foundation aims to help keep forests, plant trees, and make full use of farms by planting trees and producing good fruit and vegetables.
According to Kipchoge, his mission is to give all children in the world access to knowledge and education, and to help make running a lifestyle for as many people as possible.
“My mission is to give all children in the world access to knowledge and education. I want those children to grow up into healthy adults in a green and breathing world where forests keep our people safe,” Kipchoge noted.
