Suggestions? - $20,000 donation to School Build

jimothy64

Hi there, since a visit to South Africa pre-COVID i've become determined to make a difference in supporting those without education.

Having done plenty of research I wondered if anybody knows any organisations across Africa (doesn't need to be SA) who might be able to provide the framework of building a small educational premises if I were to use my $15,000-$20,000 savings as a donation?

The two sites of interest i've found are below
Rise International - US based Charity
Fred Hyde Org - Aus based Charity

I'd like to fund the entire project as opposed to small donation as part of a larger project so i could be more involved with working with a small charity in supporting it long term with fundraising and support etc.. to enable the long term future, training etc.. beyond merely beyond building a premises

Does anyone know any charities I could speak to? Bonus if any are UK based like myself!

Many thanks

I hear lots of good things about LIV Village.  I think they started in Durban, but seem to be spreading across SA.

Their emphasis seems to be education and family.

(I've not visited any of their centres, so what I hear is second-hand)
