The amount of human suffering taking place in Darfur is deafening. Communities torn, thousands of lost lives, villages completely destroyed, there are no schools left to attend. The children affected by this violence have very few places to learn the skills they will need to recover. With a few dollars and emails, we can make an impact. Together, we can build a schoolroom and give an entire village of children the opportunity to build a different future.

Problem

The conflict in Darfur has torn communities apart. Thousands have died. Millions have fled. Entire villages have been burned and destroyed – including schools. For too many kids in Darfur, getting an education is currently impossible. They have no supplies. Their teachers are gone. There are no schools left to attend.
When the conflict in Darfur finally ends, so many children, deprived of education, might not possess the knowledge or skills to bounce back from what’s happened to them.

The Gift

Your gift of $5,500 will give a group of kids in Darfur the opportunity to learn. With $5,500 we can rebuild a schoolroom that was destroyed. We can fill it with tables, chairs and a blackboard. We can train a teacher. And, we can get kids pencils, notebooks, clean water and hot, nutritious meals, so they can study hard.

$5,500 will give an entire village of kids an opportunity for a different future – the chance to rebound from everything they’ve suffered in Darfur over the last few years.
