After the success of the 2026 Sahara Marathon, Team Sandblast was able to raise £12,837! Bringing us over halfway to our goal of £20,000!

Now we need help from the Sandblast family to close the gap. Brick by brick, each donation helps us build room for our students and teachers to grow.

In the heart of Boujdour camp, children gather each day in Desert Voicebox seeking something rare: a space where they can learn, express themselves, and feel hopeful about their future. Their teachers -dedicated Saharawi women trained through our programme- work tirelessly to guide them through music, language, and creativity. What we build together at Desert Voicebox is more than a classroom; it’s a sanctuary for confidence, imagination, and belonging.

As our programme grows, so does our vision. To continue nurturing these young voices and strengthening the teachers who lead them, we are ready to create something special: an additional learning space designed for empowerment, creativity, and community.

With your support, we aim to build and fully furnish a much-needed additional learning room.

This new space will include:

A dedicated teacher training room, giving our Saharawi educators the professional environment they deserve

A versatile creative workshop space for music, art and cultural expression

A comfortable student learning room that supports focused, joyful lessons

An adjacent toilet facility, offering the basic dignity every teacher and child deserves

Why This Space Matters

This expansion is more than bricks and mortar. For Saharawi women and children, it represents opportunity, stability, and long-term sustainability for the entire programme.

A new DV space will allow us to:

Reach more children as demand continues to rise

Strengthen teacher training and development

Improve the quality of lessons currently limited by space

Support potential programme expansion beyond primary school level

Create a safe, vibrant hub for creativity, music, and learning

Why Now

Desert Voicebox has reached a defining moment. Our teaching, training, and creative activities are expanding, and to continue offering the quality our children deserve, we need a second space built with care and purpose. This is our chance to strengthen the foundation of the programme and shape its future.

You Can Help Us Build Something Beautiful

Your support will create a space where Saharawi children feel seen and supported, and where their teachers can continue growing into strong, confident educators.

Together, we can build and expand a place where Saharawi voices rise, and futures begin.
