More than 250 runners will participate in an ultra-marathon against poverty in India for the benefit of indigenous people

MADRID, Jan. 17 (SportsFinding) –

More than 250 runners will participate next January 24 in India in the fifth edition of the Anantapur Ultramarathon (AUM), a solidarity test that will raise funds for the projects that the Vicente Ferrer Foundation (FVF) carries out with the indigenous population of the South of the country, informs said foundation.

The corridors will depart from the Vicente Ferrer Foundation campus in Anantapur to arrive the next day, and after completing 170 kilometers, to Bathalapalli Hospital, one of the most emblematic projects of the foundation and reference center in South India.

The Anantapur Ultramarathon has become a consolidated event in the Indian district of Anantapur in which the entire local population is involved. It is an initiative that goes beyond the sporting challenge, since it represents the opportunity to improve the lives of families living in poverty.

In this fifth edition, the solidarity challenge is to improve the lives of the communities of the villages of Daddanala and Billagondhipenta, in the Srisailam region, in southern India. The families of this village belong to the Chenchu ​​tribal group. The chenchus are a tribe that maintains a very traditional way of life, based on the collection of food in the forest and hunting. They suffer a high rate of early deaths due to poor hygiene and diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis.

The project to improve the two villages will consist of the construction of 26 homes and structures to supply drinking water to the population of Daddanala and the construction of 13 houses and the paving of internal roads to facilitate access to the village of Billagondhipenta.

Currently, people who live in these villages live in precarious huts and lack basic hygiene and health conditions. With the construction of the new homes 39 families will have a decent home. In total, 165 people will have improvements in their lives, of which 85 are girls and boys.

Any person, even if he does not participate in the race, can make a donation through the web www.1km1vida.org and contribute to the reconstruction of the villages of Daddanala and Billagondhipenta in southern India.
