We use your donation
For the purchase of textbooks. One book costs two euros. Twelve euros are needed for all subjects in one year. Learning to read without one’s own book is very difficult.
for orphans and children of destitute families who are unable to pay school fees and school materials themselves. 17 euros per month is enough to pay the school fees for one child. This is enough to provide the child with books for each subject, copies for exams, a notebook (a kind of report book), ruler and eraser. Each sponsored child receives two school uniforms a year and a hot meal a day.
For the purchase of exercise books and pens/pencils for the students. 1,000 pencils cost five euros. Each child needs at least one exercise book.
For the purchase of rulers. Ten rulers can be bought for two euros. Imagine math class without a ruler!
for equipping the classrooms with blackboards, tables, chairs, benches and cupboards. A bench costs 26 euros.
for the expansion and renovation of the school. A number of materials such as cement and wood have to be transported from far away to Langbinsi. In addition, the cost of materials has risen enormously in recent years. In 2020, we need donations to build an outer wall around the school. In the fall of 2019, the existing wall was destroyed during the rainy season. For this reason, goats and donkeys come onto the school grounds and into the classrooms, as some of the classrooms have no doors. In 2020, we built separate girls’ toilets.
Active support
Helping hands are always welcome. You can work at the kindergarten or as a teacher for grades 1 – 5 at the school. You can support the extension of the school, help as a facility manager, build or repair desks and shelves. You can refit school uniforms and help in the kitchen.
You should stay at least four weeks. You will be picked up at the airport in Accra and travel to Walewale (approx. 30 km away from Langbinsi) by bus. There, someone will pick you up with a vehicle. Besides the expenses for your flight, you will only pay for your accommodation and food. Therefore, you will need about 200 euros for four weeks.
