​Tie the Race started before we even knew it was forming. Our story started in Karabondi, Kenya in 2019. The dirt/mud floors had been causing breathing and other issues to the children and teachers of the Mirembe Primary School. We were asked for help to cement floors.  So, we organized our first successful fundraiser with the help of generous friends, family and strangers. The money raised was used to cement 5 school classrooms as well as other needed updates and repairs to the school structure. The phrase used to describe this success story is "many hands make for light work".
