Eight minute film taken at the schools where we work in Kenya and Uganda.

International Care and Relief ( ICR ) are extending their work in Uganda and Kenya to break the vicious circle of poverty in rural areas. They are attacking the grass roots by targetting education. They work with local communities to build new schools and encourage the local people to take over the ongoing running and development.

The video describes the lives of children who love to learn but often have to look after their parents who suffer from illness and, in particular, HIV and AIDS. ICR asks for donations and assistance to help them but in an innovative manner. Via their web site at www.build-a-school.org donors can state what their contributions should be used for and they are then they are kept up to date with progress at the school of their choice.



Over 46 million children in sub Saharan Africa are unable to go to school. ICR’s Build-a-School Campaign aims to build 100 schools in East Africa and help one million children over the next five years. Schools in some of the poorest areas of Kenya and Uganda will be transformed to enable children to have a decent education.

Build-a-school provides you with a window to Africa. This website shows you schools where lessons are still held under trees or in classrooms made of mud and straw. You can support a school and, through this site, you will be able to visit your school and see how work is progressing.
