Real people who’ve received the help they needed
This fundraiser aimed to build a new classroom for the youngest children at Rafiki Village School in Moshi, Tanzania. They successfully raised funds to replace the outdoor shaded gazebo currently used for lessons with a proper school building, using basic construction materials such as bricks and mortar.
The fundraiser supports Hope Flowers School in Bethlehem, which faces rising demand as the public education system in the West Bank nears collapse. Hope Flowers is seeing many new students but needs extra resources to accommodate them. The campaign’s goal is to finance two new classes, one special education and one regular. The fundraiser set a €10,000 target and ended up raising €16,768 (including €10,000 offline).
This campaign was created to raise money so poor students can get educational aid in Nigeria, organized by entrepreneur Mary Taiwo. The campaign successfully reached its target by getting the amount from offline donations.
