Our Purpose<\/span><\/h1>\n

We are committed to providing buildings for educational use in rural areas of developing countries where many children, particularly girls, do not have access to an education.<\/p>\n

During the trip all pupils will spend 10 days working on a building site with a team of local builders. The group will stay in basic accommodation and will take turns to cook and clean for the rest of the group.<\/p>\n

On the middle weekend the group will take part in a game drive and have an overnight stay in a National Park.<\/p>\n

All building materials are sourced locally and the builders receive payment for the duration of the build, not just the length of the school visit.<\/p>\n
