Who we help

African children, especially orphans. We help by providing curriculum and supplies and assisting African teachers and teachers-in-training. The need for teachers in Africa far exceeds the supply. Many governments are financially overwhelmed by their nationl needs for buildings, curriculum and teacher's salaries. In some countries, the community school movement is gathering momentum: local groups organise schools with whatever limited resources they have available.  By partnerships with national NGO's (Non-Governmental Organizations), we transfer donor funds and materials to meet local educational needs.

Where we help

Since 1997 staff focus has been in Zambia in south-central Africa,  In 2004 Malawiand Democratic Republic of Congo are looking to us for assistance, as well. In 2003 more than 5000 students and their communities have benefited.
