Build a school in Africa for only 5 Euros

Education is the only way out of poverty and towards stable democracy. Studies have shown that increasing education results in decreasing drug abuse or HIV infections, thus resulting in less AIDS orphans.

Alas access to education is difficult and not affordable for many underprivileged.
Even daily travel to school can be a big obstacle, since even the cheap matatus cause considerable costs if monthly income is between 50 and 100 Euros.
This vicious circle can only be broken with external help.

We have decided to build a school center in a lesser developed area in Thika close to our children's home.
The school center will consist of a kindergarten, a primary, secondary and vocational school and serve both our children as well as poor people in the community to get an affordable chance for education.

Without your help we cannot do it. Please donate 5 Euros and tell everybody you know about this project.
