Expansion of Circle of Peace School
$3000 of $3000 donated
Kampala, Uganda
Circle of Peace School project is an educational initiative designed to provide kindergarten and elementary education. Currently, the existing location of the school will be unavailable after December 2009 because the school is being evicted from its existing property. As a result, the school is moving all primary school students to the Upper school where they will have to share space until new shelters can be provided for them. The Circle of Peace School is asking for help to start building structures to allow their students to continue their education. Most of their students are orphans, aids victims whose parents have died, and poor children who can’t afford to pay for education. Currently there are 105 students in the lower school and 100 in the upper school. With these funds, the school will purchase all the necessary materials to begin building.

School Kitchen Construction at St. Therese Laviale
$3000 of $3000 donated
La Vallee, Haiti
This project asks the Givology community to help build a kitchen for the St. Therese Laviale School. This school is located in Haiti and provides education to some of the poorest families in the rural community of LaVallee de Jacmel. As you know, even before the earthquake, families in Haiti struggled to feed their children. It is a harsh reality that many school-age children go all day without food or clean water. The World Food Program assists in feeding the children of rural Haiti by providing meals at their schools. However, the program requires that each school have a safe storage space and a kitchen in which to cook the meals. St. Therese Laviale School does not have these facilities and thus has not been able to participate in this program. After the kitchen project is completed, approximately 250 students will receive a simple meal of rice and beans during the school day. For some, this is the most nutritious meal of their day. All of the materials needed for this project wi...
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.
