Hello!
Build Africa helps children in ruralKenya and Uganda go to school
Kenya
Uganda
Why do theyneed help?
Today we are going to learnabout conditions for children
in Kenya and Uganda whowant to go to school.
Think about where you werethis morning
It’s very different from a typicalhome in Kenya
And a typical kitchen
And think abouthow you got to
school today
In Africa almost all children walk
have to walk to school
It can take them over an hour to
walk to school
And it can be a long way and very hot
And when they get to school the classrooms are falling apart
Children have to sit on the floorbecause there are not enough desks
Sometimes there are no classroomsso they have lessons under a tree
And if they do not have enough booksthey have to share or go without
Many children are taught inclassrooms like this
Children in Africa are desperateto go to school and learn
Irine wants to be a nursewhen she grows up
Why would it be hard forIrine to learn at school?
Lessons are cancelled and studentssent home when it rains
Hard to hear if it is windy or raining
Hard to concentrateif you don’thave a deskand a chair
to sit on
Cannot practice writing when youdo not have any books
Would you want to go to schoolif it looked like this?
That’s why Build Africaneeds your help
Build Africa wants to buildsafe classrooms
So that children can learn properly with correct equipment
Sitting at their own desks
And with enough textbooks so thatthey do not have to share
And you can help Build Africa!
Your schoolcan raise
money to …
… build classrooms …
… buy desks …
… and books …
So that all the children in Kenya and Uganda can go to school and learn
Thank you for helping Build Africa and the children of Kenya and Uganda
Asante!
Thank You!
