There’s a buzz about the school this week, because although it’s school holidays… the roof is going on!
Lots of excitement, because this clearly signals that our school is nearly complete.
This school is not a temporary structure – as many charity-built African schools are, lasting only a few years. This building is a large, three-story permanent facility to provide quality education to poverty-struck slum kids for decades to come. It is extremely well-built... and has cost us accordingly!
We want our school to be a ‘beacon of hope’ to our slum community – something that stands the test of time – to show that we believe in the community and that we’re not ‘here today, gone tomorrow’. So it’s built to last many, many years.
There are lots of reasons why we have built it so well - you can read them here!
We are still raising funds to complete this final (third) level of classrooms - if you’d like to help, please click here. That would be lovely!
