I would like to help the Kintanu village in Democratic Republic of Congo to restore a school for their children. This country, which is one of the poorest in the region, has literacy and education rates that are far below the international averages. Due to the poor state of repair of Kintanu school, it is no longer operational but if restored could accommodate up to 800 children. Children who currently have little hope of getting access to education..

A child in Africa can walk on average 13 miles a day just to receive what we would class as a very basic education. To raise money I am walking 26 miles to highlight the significance of this distance. Building a school will positively effect community resilience, whilst enabling children in the community to receive an education. My fundraising will provide the community directly with funds to enable them to start the school rehabilitation project in early 2018.

Any support for this project is much appreciated.
