Help the Congolese build quality schools – Get Involved

CREATE A MATCHING GRANT

PROCESS:

  • Ask a person, business or organization to donate a challenge grant toward building a school.
  • Ask others to match it and send the funds to Build Congo Schools.

A BCS partner church gave a large donation toward the building of a school
Other churches and individuals matched the donation. In 9 months the school was funded.

In 4 more months Zapo Zapo school was built. Shortly afterward, a new high school was added to the new building.

Two more matching grants were given and matched, consequently two more schools were built.

This funding strategy successfully built three schools which are now educating more than 4000 students.

One of those schools, Mapata Mualabala School, is shown below — before and after construction.

Many thanks to the Build Congo Schools partners who transformed this school
