Help us build classrooms, serve school meals, put laptops in front of learners and grow our skills training.
Why we're asking
Not long ago, one of our classes met in a shelter made of timber poles, with gaps in the walls and a plastic sheet to keep out the rain. Thanks to people who gave, we've since built a new brick classroom block.
The walls are up. Now the rooms need desks, chalkboards and lighting, so every child can learn somewhere dry, safe and bright.
What we need now
Food for hungry children, books for our library and a better kitchen. Watch the clips and you'll see why.
At mealtime the children line up at the serving tables with their cups and wait for their share. For many of them, it's hard to learn on an empty stomach.
Every gift, big or small, and every bit of help puts more food on those tables. More food means fuller cups, and children who can concentrate in class.
Our whole library fits on one set of shelves. Our pupils love to read, but there aren't enough books to go round. We need storybooks and reading books for every age, from nursery to P7, plus reference books.
Got children's books to spare? We'd love them. Get in touch.
Every school meal is cooked over open wood fires in a small, dark room that fills with smoke. We want to build the children a better kitchen: brighter, cleaner, with better stoves and far less smoke for the cooks.
