“Anne Marie Pearson's fundraising”

on 10 August 2010

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
COCO’s purpose is to provide education to create the opportunity for children to break the cycle of poverty. We are currently working with communities in remote areas of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Our vision is a world where every child, everywhere has access to quality education.

Story

I am travelling to a remote village in Northern Tanzania in September 2010 as part of a project team to renovate a primary school classroom and set up a rain harvesting tank. In addition to this COCO will be putting in a place a sustainability plan to ensure the success of this project in years to come. 

As you can see from the picture there are over 70 children crammed into 1 small room with no facilities, no electricity, no equipment and only 1 teacher to watch over them. During the project we will be decorating the classroom both inside and out, building a ceiling, wiring in an electricity supply and generally bringing the environment up to standards. We will be doing this with the help of locals who have the skills just not the money, resources or tools.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. Your money will have a positive impact not only on the kids pictured but also on generations to come.

thank you
