The Eliud Kipchoge Foundation has received financial support from a leading sports wearables company to aid in their 2025 executions.
The Eliud Kipchoge Foundation has landed a major boost from COROS, a global company specializing in performance sports wearables.
COROS will be running their Black Friday from November 29 to December 3 and announced that the company will donate 5% of all proceeds from direct sales to the Eliud Kipchoge Foundation. The financial boost will come in handy in ensuring Eliud Kipchoge and his team execute their duties diligently in 2025.
The funds will be allocated towards building a new library containing books and resources for individual research and learning. This will be the second library built since the first was constructed in 2022. The library was built for Kapsisiywa Secondary School in Chesumei Sub County, Nandi County, with funding from former President Uhuru Kenyatta. The library currently has 30 computers with internet access.

'I can’t believe I said that'- Junelle Bromfield apologizes to Noah Lyles over Beyonce comment
Noah Lyles’ fiancé Junelle Bromfield has sparked buzz after a playful Beyonce moment and cultural adjustments during training.
The remaining funds were used to construct 10 classrooms, an administration block, and the extension of a perimeter wall. The new library will be looking to provide a safe community space for young people with COROS customers having a direct impact in fostering educational empowerment.
The funds will also help in the construction of classrooms to host educational sessions for the youth staying around the area. Eliud Kipchoge extended a hand of gratitude to COROS for their charity and once again insisted on the importance of education.
"Growing up in Kenya, I know that access to books and knowledge is not always available to everyone. Libraries open doors to endless possibilities. By building more, we extend knowledge and create lasting change,” the two-time Olympic champion said.
Meanwhile, the foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing education and environmental sustainability. It was founded in 2020 and has always strived to provide better access to education.
The foundation’s goal is very clear and will be looking to empower the next generation through both education and environmental initiatives.
