HELP US BUILD A SCHOOL FOR GOROM-GOROM !
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page to help us build a school in Gorom-Gorom, Burkina Faso.

I have been in Burkina Faso since 1989, and work closely in Gorom-Gorom with the local pastors. My home church, Glenwood Church, is partnered with the church there, and we plan to start building a Christian primary school in the town to support the vision of Pastor Daniel of the Gorom-Gorom church.

This will  not only improve the education and development of the neediest parts of Burkina Faso, but also introduce children to the life and good news of Christ.


Building the School
Three hectares of land have been acquired for the school, just on the outskirts of Gorom-Gorom. The first phase, costing about £40,000, will require three classrooms, a well, a house for the head teacher, a kitchen, and toilets. Glenwood Church hopes to raise the money to build phase 1 of the school by June 2009.

You can see a video about our vision for the school to the left.
For further details about the school please visit my website:

Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso is a land-locked country in the heart of West Africa. According to the UN, it is the second poorest country in the world.
