Afghanistan

Since 2018, Frontline Children have been the flagship supporter and sponsor of the Mini Marathon of Afghanistan.  The annual sports event that started in 2018 with our funding and support has seen over 500 children aged (6-16) take part in this special race in the Bamiyan Province of Central Afghanistan.  The project mission is to inspire young people through access to sport and new opportunities and has been an hugely well supported event to date.  Unfortunately, due to the current worsening security situation, the mini-marathon is on hold.  We sincerely hope to return soon.  One of the additional impacts of the project has seen UK Primary Schools design the official running shirt in an annual art and craft competition.  This allowed children to better understand the culture of Afghanistan through a series of presentations and workshops delivered by Frontline Children’s volunteers across the UK.
