Fundraising for the project

We are starting a fundraising effort for the project that aims to fund education for the disadvantaged children who are attending the school where volunteers will be working. The school was established to provide education to children who come from low socio economic backgrounds and orphaned children. There are currently 565 boys and girls who attend this school, for most of these children coming to school is a privilege as they are being given the opportunity to gain an education as apposed to having to go out and work to earn an income. But despite this there are still many who are forced to leave school and find work to help their families financially.

By helping with funding for this project you will be contributing towards achieving the long term goals of this program, which is to aid struggling families financially so that they can continue to send their children to school to get a proper education. This will hopefully contribute to opportunities for better paid jobs for these children in the future, breaking the cycle of poverty in this community.
