MY 40th BIRTHDAY WISH:  To supply Kujali's pilot orphanage academy, (Hananasif Academy in Tanzania), with a complete set of nationally certified textbooks.

Cost: $7,585.15

Goal: to raise half $3,793.00 (to be matched by Matel)

Kujali is a 3 year old, grassroots organization that establishes “orphanage academies” for disadvanted children of the world. Unlike traditional orphanges, these academies are dynamic, rigorous and supportive educational centers where children have the opportunity to learn, grow and develop their talents. Kujali's approach represents a critical shift away from the traditional basic-needs approach, towards one that fosters community, while educating and empowering vulnerable youth to be changemakers and leaders in their community.

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME...

• I strongly believe in the founder, Sydney Scheaf, (her vision, her passion and mission) and want to see Kujali succeed.
• I strongly believe African issues are some of the most neglected and most difficult world issues yet to still be solved.
• I strongly believe to make systemic change ANYWHERE, the most disadvantaged must be elevated, educated and empowered... this is the work of Kujali.org.
• Unlike other charities, all money raised for Kujali goes directly into projects in the field, (not salaries or fancy offices.)

PLEASE give what you can... no donation is too small!
