Where your money goes
Our fundraising phases
Phase 1 — Toilets & Water Facilities
Safe, clean toilet and water facilities for every child at Bakau Primary School. Children currently lack access to basic sanitation — this is our most urgent need.
30% of goal reached
Your impact: £25 buys essential plumbing materials. £100 funds a day of skilled labour. £500 brings us significantly closer to completion.
Phase 2 — Windows & Flooring
Replacing broken windows and improving classroom flooring to create a safe, weatherproof learning environment where children can focus and flourish.
Your impact: £50 covers a window frame. £200 funds flooring for a section of classroom. £1,000 transforms an entire room.
Phase 3 — Library, Resource Centre & Adult Literacy
Creating a library and resource centre for children, plus adult literacy classes for the wider community — building a culture of learning for all generations.
Your impact: £30 buys a set of books. £150 stocks a shelf. £500 furnishes a reading corner. £2,000 equips the whole library.
