WHAT WE DO

School Construction

We collaborate with small communities in developing countries to improve the education of their children.  Depending on their stated needs, we build a new school, using local labor, renovate and existing school and provide teaching tools, books, uniforms and other resources for the effective teaching of young people.

Water And Sanitation

We build wells, so that they are in close proximity to the school.  Traditionally, in many villages, it is the responsibility of girls and women to obtain the family’s water supply.  Often times , the water can be a long way from home and this responsibility is in many cases conflict with going to school.  This is true for girls in particular.
