Project Description Region: Africa Country: Zimbabwe Location: Zimbabwe Africa Total Budget: $98,763 Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy In this extremely rural area of Zimbabwe, Africa, The Buy A Brick Foundation & Rotary Member, Gib Leonard of The Washington DC Club have constructed a beautiful compound 80 miles outside of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Buy A Brick Foundation has donated $197,387.00usd into this amazing school development project. There are two large school blocks, a boarding school block that houses 144 students. There are a total of 288 students in attendance. Why the need for an additional Boarding Block? 1. Currently both boys and Girls live in this same Boarding Block...we know this not a good thing. 2. The increase in the number of kids wanting to attend this school has grown dramatically and continues to do so. 3. We need to raise an additional $98,763usd to build a new boarding school block designed for the girls, as well as a dining hall for all the students and faculty. 4. Seriously, this boarding school is the "talk of Zimbabwe!", please join us in making a difference in the lives of the girls and boys that are striving to better themselves!
