Story

Thanks for visiting our team fundraising page.

We are a group of students and staff from the department of Architecture & Built Environment at the University of Nottingham and we've joined together to raise money to build a nursery school in a rural village in the Letsitele Valley in Limpopo, South Africa. It is one of the poorest, least developed parts of the country, with high levels of unemployment.

 

Your donation will help provide a bright, clean and safe environment for teaching basic skills, play and music to village children from under one year to seven years old. It will also provide employment for the local women who teach in the créche, cook meals, wipe noses and sing and play with the kids.

You'll see our team fundraising target on the right. Your donation can really help us hit this target.

We pride ourselves on spending as much of our fundraising locally in the communities around the villages we build in - we have no big salaries or expensive offices to fund. over 90% of funds raised last year were spent on materials, tools, subcontracted works and project logistics associated with daily transport to the site. Students pay for their own flights and accomodation.

Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
