We’re hosting a 5K Run/Walk and a Family Festival to raise money for school-kids in Sudan.
From 1983 until 2005, Sudan was ravaged by a civil war. Because of the length and severity of the war, Southern Sudan lost its schools. From 2005 through today, refugees are coming back into the country, but there are few schools for their children. The limited schools the government runs have trouble paying teachers. Many of those meet irregularly, or have stopped meeting altogether.
To help educate the children in Sudan, we’ve started a preschool and elementary school. In the Spring of 2009, the kids received the highest marks of any other school in the county. These high marks came despite serious challenges in every day life.
Goal: $35,000
This will:
- Repair their school building
- Pay seven teachers’ salaries
- Feed the children
- Help e3 Partners with its work in Sudan
