Take a deep dive into our daily life of refugee athletes training for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, in the heart of Kenya. For this airbnb Online Experience, catch a glimpse into where we get in shape, and equip ourselves with tools for life, at the Tegla Loroupe Training Centre. A few of us share our personal and inspiring life stories; go through a 20-minute workout, and interact with the guests on the experience, with a questions and answers section at the end.
All the proceeds of this event are donated directly to the Tegla Loroupe Peace Foundation.
The airbnb virtual experience was hosted live from the Tegla Loroupe Peace Foundation and Training Centre (based in Ngong Nairobi). The Foundation promotes peace-building, livelihood and the resilience of people affected by violence and vulnerable to conflicts and civil strife in the world. 19 athletes come from Kakuma Refugee Camps, and are currently training at the center aiming to be part of the Refugee Olympic Team Tokyo 2020.
