Kukiriza Rebecca
$290 of $360 donated
Kampala, Uganda
My brother and I came to Peace School when my father died two years ago. My mother could not afford to take care of us so she turned us over to the care of Peace School.   Niukasa Musa, my 10-year old brother, is in the Primary 3 class. He lives in the Boy’s Dormitory and I live in the Girl’s Dormitory.   My best friend is named Vivian. She is a Muslim like me. On Fridays we go to the Mosque for prayers. Altogether there are three Muslim girls in our dormitory.   My favorite subject is science. I would like to be a doctor and help sick people get well. I hope you can help me achieve my dream of being a doctor.   Note: Peace Nursery and Primary School is a private school serving orphans and other children unable to afford the costs of attending public schools. As such, it receives no funding from public sources. Located in a suburb of Uganda’s capital city Kampala, the school is in a highly urban setting and must pay for water and sanitation service as well as teacher salar...

Brenda Lacan
$195 of $300 donated
Solola, Guatemala
14-year old Brenda is from the small city of Santiago, Atitlan. Santiago the epicenter of the Tzutijil Mayan group and is also the largest indigenous-run city in Central America. Brenda’s first language was Tzutijil and she learned Spanish in school. Brenda’s mother Maria is illiterate and never attended school. She recalls how her parents would hide her under the bed during door-to-door school recruitment campaigns. Brenda’s maternal grandfather believed that an education would be wasted on his daughters and that they were better off working to support the family. Maria worked as a domestic servant from the age of 9 to help support her poor parents, and was severely mistreated on several occasions. Maria was a teenage bride and mother- yet she still vowed that her daughters would get an education to avoid a similar fate. Brenda is the youngest of 7 siblings. Her father, who studied until the 3rd grade, makes a meager living repairing school uniforms. Her mother does some embr...

Solo Village School Repair
$360 of $500 donated
Bougouni, Mali
Originally constructed ten years ago, the school in the rural village of Solo in Mali, West Africa has severely deteriorated due to lack of quality structural supplies and the abuse of harsh weather conditions. The building was built with mud bricks covered by a thin layer of cement. The cement on the floors and ceilings is beginning to crack and break, and in one classroom the broken concrete has left a large hole in the floor, leaving the classroom unusable if the ground is wet from rain. Another classroom has a make-shift roof of poor-quality tin that leaks during the rainy season. The tin roof needs to be replaced by a durable cement roof and the floors are in need of durable cement to prevent cracking and flooding.

Supporting Queen Esther School
$344 of $550 donated
Akuapem, Ghana
Parents in Manpong, Ghana are currently pulling their children out of school due to insufficient supplies, teachers and space. They do not feel that their children are learning in the unfavorable environment. The children are attending school in rented buildings that are unsafe. They are unable to keep teachers due to lack of supplies and space. Most rooms do not have desks or seats for the students that do attend. Volunteers for International Development and Aid (VIDA) has partnered with this community to change the conditions and attract students back to class. Three classrooms were started in May 2010 and will be completed in the next month. Once the building is complete the community will need assistance with books, pencils, paper and learning tools. Volunteers will be traveling to the community this summer to build desks for the students.

Rehabilitating Former Street-Children
$360 of $750 donated
Nairobi, Kenya
The Turning Point Trust works to prevent and rehabilitate street-children within Africa’s largest slum, Kibera, Kenya. When a child comes from the streets to the Turning Point Project, they bring with them behavioural characteristics that they have learnt in that environment. This behaviour frequently prevents them from immediately returning to school, and a period of rehabilitation is required. Our School Transition Class provides a safe, nurturing, educational environment that enables the child to slowly readjust to a more structured way of life: for example: relating to adults in authority; lengthening their concentration period and adjusting to being within four walls. During this time, our staff work to trace the child’s family and work alongside them to address the problems the family are facing. If appropriate, a parent or guardian might become involved in Turning Point’s Finance Programme, giving them the chance to start a small business and earn a steady income. Each ...
