Hello! My name is Margaret and I'm raising money to build the school my husband and I founded in Chad. It's an Evangelical, 'bilingual' (French-English) school with around 1,000 pupils, making a big difference to the local community. The primary school children have been using temporary classrooms on borrowed land; but the landowners have reclaimed their property so we have to move quickly.

We're developing land already bought for 'La Bergerie' school. Over £20,000 has already been raised to build on the site, thanks to your amazing generosity! These funds have been used to install a water pump, build the surrounding wall and toilet 'cess pit' and to start the classroom foundations. Temporary classrooms are being moved from the old site to the new site, whilst we continue to raise money to build a permanent block of 12 classrooms. Then the children will be able to learn in a safe environment. Will you help us?
