Help us construct three new classrooms at Dorothy Schwartz Community Centre and attain Junior Secondary School status. All donations to this campaign will be matched dollar for dollar until we reach our goal thanks to a matching pledge from a generous private donor!
*as of 5/8/2023. This total will be updated every Monday and will not immediately reflect your donation when you give. Be sure to check back each week to see our progress!
GOAL: $30,000
Your support will help expand Dorothy Schwartz Community Centre, a primary school located in a desperately poor slum in Nairobi, Kenya. For our students to graduate from DSCC we need to build 3 new classrooms to attain Junior Secondary School status.
Local residents will provide the labor for the construction, but the total cost for building supplies will be $30,000. Donations go a long way; for example $34 would buy 4 steel columns.
A very generous family has donated an initial $12,000 to kick off the construction project and pledged up to an additional $10,000 in a dollar for dollar matching grant until we meet our goal. Can you help us reach this match amount? Donate today to DOUBLE your impact!
The photos below are from our 2019 construction project when we raised the funds to support the construction of new classrooms to meet government requirements to remain open as a school. Our current campaign will help the school attain Junior Secondary status and expand its impact on the children in need in Mukuru Slum, Nairobi, Kenya.
