rural school improvements

Many of the schools in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in the rural areas and outlying villages, are in severe need of structural improvements and safety upgrades. Students and teachers lack access to the necessary supplies that make learning more accessible.

This school represents the average. Many schools are worse still than what you see here.

Our approach to school improvements is simple - we ask the community what they need the most, and we find a way to provide as much of that list as we can.

    Infrastructure Improvements

    Many schools need structural improvements, like roof repairs. When possible, we hire local contractors and tradesmen to make the necessary repairs and upgrades.

  • Supplies Distribution

    Another major challenge to learning in remote villages of Africa is access to supplies – the simple stuff, like notebooks and pencils, but also textbooks, and shoes to make the walk to school more safely. We love working with the local community not only to source these items, but also to outfit the children with what they need.
