Build a School for Children in Rural South Africa!

Africa Classroom Connection (ACC) builds schools in rural KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa, where the lasting effects of apartheid continue to leave this area desperately underserved.  ACC works with local communities to build classrooms. Without classrooms, students are either overcrowded into limited structures or taught under trees in harsh conditions and with few resources. During rainy seasons children are unable to learn at all. Since 2006, we've helped 37,000+ kids by building 109 classrooms. Sadly, more than 100 remain on the waiting list, many for as long as five years. 

We at Africa Classroom Connection are seeking to raise $60,000 in this campaign to build 5 classrooms! These classrooms will serve 250 students each year and many thousands of families and communities will benefit over time.

Classrooms are the heart of the community.  Many are used in evenings for adult learning and others are used as makeshift dormitories for girls in areas where the exceptionally long walk home can be dangerous. During the Covid-19 pandemic, communities are choosing to have students quarantine at school so their learning will not be disrupted. Education is highly valued and not taken for granted.

Africa Classroom Connection’s core principle of grassroots participation and co-investment guide the building of classrooms. Communities are eager for education, raising financial deposits of 3% (significant to them), leveling land, and securing water needed for construction.  We at ACC fund the remaining portion of the school infrastructure build.

Please help Africa Classroom Connection unleash the potential of every child by providing them access to educational opportunities not otherwise possible. Help children thrive. Build a classroom with us. Thank you for your generosity!
