Re: Building a School programme

Africa won my heart many years ago and now i am embarking on a project that will give something back to the people that made me who i am now. My aim is to register as a charity and then raise enough cash in the UK to build a School in Africa. I want to twin this project with some schools in the UK and possibily develope it into a youth exchange programme. I hope that there are some people out there that can give me some advice, support and words of wisdom. Thankyou

That's a great idea Chris. Education in Africa should be top priority in my opinion. I live in South Africa, and even in an "established" country there are still kids that don't have easy access to education. I would start looking at the rural areas that need it most.

i did a quick search on google and found this website. [www.southafrica.info]

There are a few useful links in there that may be of use. Good luck with your project, After all, the ultimate purpose in life is to give, and you are doing exactly that.

Hello Discover Africa and to the rest of you. We are an international development charity working across the developing world and especially in Africa called Teach A Man To Fish. As we work in education we believe that the competition we currently have running will benefit educational programmes and give a great deal of recognition to institutions that do great work!

This competition is called the Pan African Awards and any school in an African nation can join, from Kindergarden to University. Please consider this initiative of ours as we truly believe it will benefit all schools that participate and their are substantial monetary prizes up for grabs.

We hope those interested get involved and that this contributes to your programme.

Thank you for your ideas. Well, there is a lot to do in this world but the most important is to start somewhere by doing something you can to bring the change in people's life. I am a woman, missionnary, working more for development and people people well-being. for longtime, I have been only someone who had good ideas, good projects for development but not "a doer". I am happy that I have changed. we do not need to be RICH to make the different and impact lives. I bought a plot in a village in the Center region of Togo. it is just a plot but it is the beginning of a huge project, which will bring a real change in life of people that are forgotten. I with my group are planning to build a school, trainning center with workshops (sewering, capentry,hairdressing etc...) an orphanage, a church; healthcare center for the villagers.
We need help from any person of goodwill; you can even visit us to be on the field with us.
We are also working with women, specially widows. Our aim is to help them reaching financial autonomy by doing revenue generating activities.

Here are our needs, just choose what you can afford in the list.Let 's build all together.

* School stuffs (pens, erasers, note books, books, children books, films for youth, cartoon, educational tools)
*Christian films,
*chairs and tables
*sewering machines
*Hair dryers
*single beds
*a projector
*a computer (lap top)
*a car (pick up)
*a bus
*4 motorbikes
*4 bicycles
*Used clothes (second hand clothes for children and youth)
*Any donation

Hi Chris,

Have you considered the location and community you would like to start this project in? I think you would need to partner with a private school or a run down education center. I have a few in mind that I can link you up with so that you can start the negotiations with. I think this would be the first step.

Anyway, let me know via email about it and I will send you the relevant information.

P/S: Am also doing something similar so I have a vast network that you can use to guide you to the proper project that will provide for you all the above that you just mentioned.

Cheers
