Race4Change.org  is a philanthropic organisation that taps into the energy of motorsport events, to raise funds for the economic empowerment of women in Africa.  This year, the Race4Change team will run three classic Porsche 911s on the East African Safari Rally  from November 19th to 28th, to advocate for the use of microfinance as a tool for the advancement of African women living in poverty.  
The brainchild of financial entrepreneur and philanthropist Dr. Steven Funk , Race4Change.org has been using the popular platform of East African rallying rallying since 2009 to raise awareness of microfinance.  
Dr. Funk hopes that the story of his four champion drivers - former World Champion Björn Waldegård, four-time US champ and Red Bull star Travis Pastrana, as well as Kenyan favouritesIan Duncan and Patrick Njiru - on the notoriously difficult event will attract support and donations on the Race4Change website: everyone from motoring enthusiasts to microfinance advocates can get involved in the team’s story, and help to make a difference by encouraging donations.  
All donations go directly to the Race4Change partner microfinance organisations: Kiva , Women’s World Banking , Kenya’s Jamii Bora  and the Microcredit Summit . Nothing goes towards rallying, and every cent given is tax deductible! What could be better than having fun while changing the world?
Sandstorm Kenya has provided Canvas Explorer bags to each of the drivers participating in this noble cause.

 Go Race4Change!
