Hi. I’m Mícheál FitzGerald. I’m returning to Africa in November to help build a School with Mellon Educate. Each year, Mellon Educate organises the renowned Building Blitz volunteer trip to South Africa, where volunteers from Ireland, the UK, the US, and beyond spend one powerful week helping to build safe, modern school infrastructure in underserved areas.

Since 2013, we’ve focused on raising education standards in South African townships. In 2018, we launched the Mellon Educate Literacy Programme to tackle the high number of children unable to read for meaning. The programme helps children stay in education longer, while also creating meaningful employment for young adults. I’d be delighted if you would join me in making a difference?, Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
