(760 000 swedish krona = around $76 000 )

I’m Lilas, an 18-year-old social activist raised in Sweden. After ten years in safety, I finally have the chance to give back to the children who never left.

From May to August 2025, I will travel to personally lead a non-profit school renovation campaign in war-affected areas.

The goal: renovate the schools and provide desks, whiteboards, windows, doors, and everything in-between - all with the help of local workers and global donors like you!

And no amount is ever “too little”, even $5 can help giving a child a seat.

A simple cost breakdown:

(prices include items + installation)

The total cost to renovate the first school that this fundraising event is for:

In total: $76870

So far, we have raised $25620. That gives $51250 left, and I am certain we can do it

Every cent you give goes directly to the schools.

No middlemen. No profit. Just real change.

Behind me is a team from the 5% Movement network, connecting me with volunteer engineers, architects, and fundraising experts who make sure each step of the renovation is done right and every donation is maximized.

I believe this is the very least we can offer these souls after everything they’ve endured for over 14 years.

I’ll be documenting the entire journey with videos, photos, and updates so you can follow the impact you’re making in real time.

Education is not a luxury. It’s a right.

And together, we can make it real again.

Thank you for giving them that.
