Schools Connect Project

Below are essential information about our unique schools connect project and how you can help/participate.




What is the schools connect project about?
Our schools connect project was set up to assist poorer schools in Africa and India to be able to meet their lacking & essential infrastructures need. Many of such schools are run down with dilapidated buildings or having facilities that are in dire need of urgent & serious repairs.

Some need new roofs that has been leaking for ages, new toilets for boys and girls, repair of broken school desks and chairs, need to build a library or an assembly hall, buy sports kit, create a safe and effective drainage system, clear gutters and staganant waste/refuse, help children buy school uniforms, provide books & exercise books/notebooks to children without such essential need or to pay the salary backlog to teachers, etc.

Some schools have no electricity or electical wiring or have defective wiring, hence they cannot operate computers, fans, air condition systems or light up the classroom when the weather is dark outside. Some have broken windows, doors and some have nothing to shield the children from the elements where there is a storm, thunderstorm or heavy rainfall. We need funding, partners, volunteers, helpers and we are seeking those who feel called by God and whose hearts are moved to help, to please join us and partner with us to help these schools in need. We invite you to get in touch and join hands with us for this special mission assignment.

Why is there a need for the schools connect project?
There are so many reasons why schools in the developing world need help. The problems vary from location to location and can be dependent on a host of factors which are too numerous to enumerate here.

However, these are some of the reasons why?
  • Poverty, poverty & more poverty - Meaning lack of finance.
  • The schools are too old and have been built many, many years ago:
  • The schools fell into disrepair due to lack of funding from local/central government.
  • The schools are in poor areas where the standard of living is very low and where the poorest people live.
  • The parents of the school children are too poor to contribute to any repair funds.
  • Some schools were built with mud bricks and will need to be demolished and rebuilt with costly proper bricks.
  • Schools typically have no building funds or repair funds set aside for repair emergencies.
  • School staff and official have tried in vain repeatedly and failed to find solutions & are resigned/perplexed.
  • And much, much more....
