Summary

We recently adopted a new school in the Eastern Cape South Africa that was due to shut down due to a lack of funding. This is the only preschool in the community and serves 120 children. At the site inspection, we discovered that the roof is made of asbestos & must be replaced urgently to keep our children safe. Help us to repair this roof and build new classrooms so that these little ones can become tomorrow's leaders and reach their dreams.

Challenge

The school building is dilapidated and in dire need of repair. The roof contains asbestos and leaks when it rains. We urgently need to replace this roof to keep our children safe. Two new classrooms also need to be built to accommodate 120 children. This is the only school in this impoverished community and the only opportunity for education for these children.

Solution

Children can attend school safely and get the education that every child deserves.

Long-Term Impact

The children will be able to go to school in a safe environment. Education breaks the cycle of poverty and helps create tomorrow's leaders.
