Raising money for

Green-Works

Charity Registration No. 1107247

Green-Works is currently helping rebuild Sierra Leone’s schools, orphanages, libraries and health centres following the devastation of civil war. Literacy rates are amongst the lowest in the world, only 30% of children can go to school. Classes are up to 100 as 49% of the population is UNDER 16. Education is vital; there are no desks or chairs to use. £5 enables Green-Works to provide school equipment for one child - for their entire school life. Green-Works donate and exports redundant furniture, to a range of infrastructure projects in the developing world, including an orphanage in Romania; NGO projects in Benin, Gambia and Ghana, even equipping an entire dentistry hospital in Khartoum.

My story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

A group of 24 Guardian employees have committed to raising £7,500 to send a shipping container full of school furniture to Africa.

We'll be loading the container in Wembley on 20 May, but it can't go anywhere if we don't raise the money to pay for the shipping.

This furniture will make a huge difference to schools in Sierra Leone where children are suffering due to the after-effects of a terrible civil war.

Please help us to make a difference by giving what you can.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Green-Works gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
