The Event...
Project 4 Africa aims to build or renovate a fully functional and
sustainable school in Africa. The project will be an 18 month
task with the target of carrying out the work in the summer of 2010.
The chosen location for the school will be The Namanyanga School
in Malawi, for local children in an area which has a large number of orphans. The project will be to build two school blocks, providing 4 classrooms and a toilet block, with the option to do further work, such as a teacher's house and feeding station, if funds are available; the classrooms will make an amazing impact on the lives of the children in this area.
The objective is to fund, build or renovate, and equip a school. The team from the UK will both be guided by and work alongside the local people to construct a school building. The link to the local community will be vital if we are to complete this project successfully. The project team have also established that this project must be carried out in association an organisation that are experts in this field, with their people in country, for this project to be successful. To this end we have engaged with the Landirani Trust who are a local UK charity helping children and orphans in Malawi.
In order to achieve the objective, around £40,000 needs to be raised through sponsorship, fund raising and voluntary contributions...this is an 18 month project so please consider any way in which you can help.
It has been shown that having experienced people on the ground is essential to the success of this project...going it alone is a non-starter.
Oh and by the way …we will also be organising a football match between the local team and the project team on completion of the project. If we have to create a new pitch, well so be it!!
