Whether it is a monthly $10, a load of bricks or a whole classroom, Ikirwa would not exist without gifts like yours. There is no head office and no salaried fundraiser. Money reaches the school through volunteer-run partner charities, and Gasper sends photos of what it bought.
What your money buys
- $10 buys 50 bricks
- $100 buys a window
- $375 keeps a day pupil in school for a year
- $800 fills a classroom with desks and chairs
- $15,000 builds a classroom
