There are numerous ways to get involved to improve access to education in South Sudan including raising awareness, including adopting a school, hosting a fundraiser, volunteering, or getting the word out.
Adopt a School in Sudan
Gather your friends, church or co-workers to adopt a school in Sudan! A permanent primary school costs about $600 per student. Which would mean that for only $50 a month someone in one year can build permanent classroom space for one student. Or:
- $150 pays one school security guard for one month
- $150 pays one teacher salary for one month
- $200 pays one cook for one month to prepare a nutritious lunch at a school
Host a Fundraising Event
There are many ways to have fun and raise funds for education in South Sudan. Hold a race, walk-a-thon, read-a-thon, auction or host a bake sale. Hold an event and invite Sudan Sunrise to speak.
Create your own personal or group fundraising page at www.Firstgiving.com/sudansun to honor someone or for a special occasion. Ask a restaurant or business to donate a portion of sales during a specified time and promote the effort, hold a garage sale and advertise proceeds will be donated for building schools in South Sudan, or sell tickets to a fundraising lunch, brunch or cook-out.
Contact us and we will be happy to help make your event a success!
You can also raise funds by shopping or searching online at www.GoodShop.com and www.GoodSearch.com, selecting Sudan Sunrise from the menu. Each time you search the internet or shop online, a donation will be made to us at no cost to you!
