My story

Hi there - thanks for visiting our JustGiving page.

We’ve decided to donate our wedding list to the Africa Educational Trust to help support projects like the following in . Thanks for donating and we look forward to seeing you in September!

Because the world needs more books…

Many schools in are overcrowded and under-equipped: they do not have enough classrooms or desks, let alone books. The establishment of libraries in disadvantaged primary schools enables pupils, teachers and communities to benefit from reading materials, providing opportunities to improve their reading and writing and reinforce their learning. Many communities do not have any other access to books.  Since 2008, AET has established libraries in 10 primary schools in . Each library consists of approximately 1000 books and includes a variety of fiction and non-fiction Teachers also receive training in using the books in classrooms as teaching aids to improve the quality of their lessons.

 

Because the world needs more educated women…

80% of 7-18 year olds in have never been to school. The majority of them are girls who are kept away from school for domestic chores, money-making opportunities, and early marriage. At school, girls face an intimidating environment, with the possibility of sexual harassment or abuse from male pupils or teachers, a lack of sanitary facilities, and very few female teachers to turn to for guidance. AET’s School Mothers Project is addressing the gender inequality in primary education in through an innovative approach of working with ‘school mothers’, women selected by the community to act as a focal point for girl’s education. They visit girls at school on a weekly basis, providing guidance and counselling and sensitization on issues relevant to the girls’ lives (such as HIV and AIDS, health and hygiene). They also act as confidantes of girls’ problems and take forward urgent issues, such as cases of abuse, to local authorities. School mothers also work in the community, advocating for the importance of girls’ education at community meetings and making home visits to families who are holding girls back from school.

We were thinking about sending a billy goat to africa instead. But apparently ryanair don't fly there, and british airways don't take goats. Congrats.
