The reason behind the run

Opportunity starts
with education.

The Edu-Tourism Run supports scholarships for talented but financially disadvantaged girls interested in tourism and hospitality. It brings runners, students, local businesses and visitors together around a shared commitment to education.

Based in Fort Portal Tourism City, Divine International University identifies Tourism and Conservation as its flagship academic programme. The initiative connects that academic focus with the region’s landscapes, cultural heritage and hospitality.
