Humanist Community Schools tip jar

From September - December 2004, we raised money for the Chasanga and Revival Humanist Community Schools in Zambia. As an update (January 2005), both schools have advanced with our help.

The Chasanga Community School was able to finish one school building. With the help of the community, they made bricks to build the walls. They built two primative toilets as a temporary solution but need help to install at least one toilet with plumbing to qualify for further assistance from the Ministry of Education and UNICEF. Each toilet is $175 and ideally they would have two. $350 total.

The Revival School increased from 214 students to 310 students and was able to lay a foundation for an additional classroom. They continued their relationship with the World Food Organization to receive one meal a day. They've also partnered with UNICEF (books, materials and desk) and the Zambian Community Schools Organization (teacher training). The Zambian Ministry of Education has a program where they pay rent for community schools. So far, this assistance has not come through, but the rent of $60 per month is still due (and past-due). Adding the past due rent of $300 to the total for the next 6 months totals $660.
