Venicemarathon social purposes:
a new drinking water well in Uganda has just been inaugurated!

Students of the primary school of Loputuk (10 km south-east of Moroto, capital town of the region of Karamoja in northeastern Uganda) will not have to do more miles with heavy tanks to get the most valuable good in the world – the water – thanks to the Venicemarathon new drinking water well dug in collaboration with Africa Mission – Cooperazione e Sviluppo. This was made possible thanks to the considerable and diversified fundraising campaign promoted during the marathon of last year. The sending of text messages, the fees sent with the registration fees by the Venicemarathon participants and by the two Family Run-ones, the selling of special bracelets and t-shirts at the Exposport, the sale by auction of Alex Zanardi’s race tracksuit , the donations of the civil defense, of the group of bikers Ancient Dragons and of the firm “Bullo Tecnologie e Servizi “ – the company which covers the bridges in the Venetian course with special wooden ramps to allow athletes with disabilities to take part in the race – allow Venicemarathon and Africa Mission – Cooperazione e Sviluppo to dig a well in a very dry region of Africa that will supply over 100 primary school pupils and 700 inhabitants of the village with drinking water.

This is how the marathon of solidarity started last 2006 by the Venicemarathon is going on. In fact thanks to the project Run for Water, Run for Life from 2006 till now 7 drinking water wells have been dug and 3 water wellsprings have been renewed in Uganda to supply over 9,000 people with water. It is estimated that with the donations raised in 2009 it will be possible to dig one other water well which will be done shortly.
