Greetings from Rob and Katie Lynn...
we have an important update!
We are delighted to announce that the school in Nkulira, Malawi is now complete!
Thanks to your support,
87 girls and 96 boys
are now attending classes.
A year ago, we had the honor of visiting Nkulira as guests of the community, participating in the groundbreaking and early work, and witnessing the commitment of the families who were working to provide more opportunities for their children.
The local community contributed land, local materials, and more than 2,163 volunteer work days. Women served side-by-side with men on the worksite, highlighting the importance of gender equity as a core value of this project.
The school construction was completed in March 2018, and it took several months to arrange for the desks and other materials required to provide a proper learning environment. We are forever grateful to everyone from buildOn, as well as to the people of Nkulira, who helped make this vision a reality.
Thank you all who contributed to our fundraising campaign. The $31,000 we raised provided key components of this project like skilled labor and purchased material - your generosity made this school possible.
BuildOn also provides adult literacy programs in Malawi. During our visit we witnessed the importance of these programs as a complement to the primary education provided in the new schools. We are continuing our campaign, and we are only $4K away from funding one of these adult literacy programs - we hope you will join us in making a donation at our
Thank you!
