A trusted local partner urgently needs funding to keep a refugee school open for around 40 displaced Afghan children, including girls who have no other access to formal education. A previous donor has unexpectedly withdrawn support. If we don’t step in, the school will close and these children—already traumatised by war—will lose their only safe learning space.

In April, Hope School in Goma was violently attacked, and several children were injured. The security situation in the region remains extremely fragile. WIN has supported our partner Claudaline in putting security guards in place — but we urgently need to raise funds to keep them there. Without ongoing protection, the school and its students remain at serious risk.
Right now, Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo is in crisis. Conflict has forced hundreds of thousands from their homes. Those who remain are trapped without food, clean water, or medical care.
Banks have shut down. Salaries aren’t being paid. Shops have food and water, but people have no money to buy them.
World in Need is responding. Through our local partners, we are getting aid directly to those in desperate need. But we can’t do it alone—we need your help to reach as many people as possible.
As well as local people wanting to know more about Jesus, there is also a need for support for local families. Therefore the building will be used for the local church and for reaching out to the local community with a focus on families, providing an informal education to children to get them prepared for more formal schooling.
The initial building phase will provide a shelter from the rain, with walls and a roof. Your donation can help to make this a reality.
The Adullum Mission Preparatory School is a successful school, reaching out to the poorer childen in the community, in the Wellington district of Freetown, Sierra Leone. As a result they are running out of space. It is a city suburb school and so the only option is to build up. A couple of years ago Pastor Tamba started to build three more classrooms on the first floor, but the rising costs meant the project had to come to a halt.
When our CEO visited the School last year he saw first hand the great work that Tamba and the team are doing. In addition to the excellent education during term time, the school building is also used in the holidays to run Church conferences for young adults. They learn the importance of godly work ethic, integrity, wisdom and compassion - as they journey through life, relationships and business.
A desk to work at and a chair to sit on are two of the most basic items that every school boy and girl should have to help them to learn well.
Nancy George Academy in Soy, western Kenya has over 400 pupils, but some of the older pupils do not have a desk or a chair that is appropriate to their age and size. Many of the desks are too small and cramped. In addition to this the benches that many of them use are not able to store their work.
Your gift of £40 can provide a much more appropriate and comfortable learning experience for the older children in Nancy George Academy.
