Run for JOICFP - Difference Maker

My name is Aphiwe Twaku.

I am fundraising running the Tokyo Marathon in 2025 and will be running for JOICFP’s who’s mission is to create a society in which women and girls can make their own choices regarding their sexual and reproductive health and rights, thereby realizing their potential to the fullest. Ultimately, JOICFP aims to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Did you know: Maternal morality indicate that In 2017, an estimated 295,000 women died of causes related to pregnancy or childbirth in one year, meaning some 808 women still die every day. – Japanese Organization for International Cooperation in Family Planning (JOICFP)

My goal in running for JOICFP is to raise funds to reduce the death statistics for women and to give women more choices regarding their reproductive and sexual health and rights, including family planning, maternal health and HIV/AIDS prevention.

Your support in raising funds will help one more women live a longer life of their own choice. Let us live up to the Japanese proverb “Good done to others, is good done to oneself.”

Feel free to follow my training on Instagram @ Aphiwe_Twaku and on Nike Running App @Aphiwe Twaku.
