Imagine yourself as a 12 year old again, but living in a very small rural village. You want an education…but quite simply there aren’t enough schools.
If there is a place for you, your nearest school will be around 15 miles away. There’s no transport and you can’t afford a bike, so you’ll have to walk. Even then, you’re desperately needed at home to collect firewood, to cook, to work in the fields to grow food for your family. Plus you will have to walk more than a mile a day just to collect water…that may or may not be drinkable. Unfair isnt it...
We believe that education is essential to overcoming poverty. And that’s why we’ve decided that Ogilvy Group should do something to really help.
WHAT’S OUR GOAL?
In the small town of , , Ogilvy Group wants to build a secondary school...for 450 children! It’s ambitious but we believe that with everyone’s support, in whatever way is personally appropriate, we will do it.
We are sending a workforce of 10 people out to for a week in August to help start the digging and building. Your donations will help kick off our 5 year plan to build:
- 12 classrooms
- A kitchen
- A dining hall
- A library
- A laboratory
- 8 staff houses and dorms for the boys and girls
And provide the site wtih electricity, desks, textbooks, laboratory equipment and a very large water tank
Your details are safe with JustGiving, they'll send the money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed for every eligable UK taxpayer.
Thanks for your help!
