Story
Growing up, education is something many of us just expect to have. But for so many children around the world, even basic school resources aren’t available. Behind the numbers are real children with dreams, curiosity, and potential no different from any of us once were.
This cause is really close to my heart. Since leaving sixth form, I’ve worked in schools from the age of 18, and I’ve seen firsthand how powerful education and the right support can be, it can completely change a young person’s life. It’s heartbreaking to think that so many children never get the opportunity that many of us take for granted.
That’s why I’m trying to do something about it. I’m aiming to raise £10,000 to help build a school in Niger giving children a safe place to learn, grow, and imagine a better future. This isn’t just about putting a building in place I want to be involved in the journey, to support the initiative in every way I can. It has to start somewhere, and even if this school is a simple beginning, it will be more than some children have ever had.
I want to know that I’ve left a positive impact, even in a small way but I can’t do it alone. Any donation, no matter the amount, and even just sharing this means more than I can put into words.
Together, we can help create opportunities that last far beyond today. Thank you so much for being part of this journey - Muq

This project is urgently needed, as many children in rural Niger have little to no access to education. Some children don’t attend school at all, while others walk long distances or travel by donkey just to reach the nearest classroom. Many are currently learning in makeshift “schools” built from local materials that are unsafe and unsuitable for children. This initiative will provide a proper two-classroom school, fully equipped with desks, chairs, blackboards, and essential learning materials. Each classroom will accommodate 30–35 students, allowing around 60–70 children aged 7–13 to receive a full primary education (grades 1–6) following the national curriculum. Qualified teachers and ongoing running costs will be provided by the Ministry of Education — what is desperately needed is the building itself. At a cost of £10,000, this school has the potential to be truly life-changing for the children it serves. Niger is vast, and the need in rural communities is enormous. Areas have already been identified through needs assessments, but none of this is possible without the generosity of donors. - Muslim Hands
