Join the Sudan Sunrise movement and get involved in helping to improve access to education in South Sudan by adopting a school, hosting a fundraiser, or volunteering.
Adopt a School in Sudan
Educate and motivate your friends, colleagues, or classmates to join you in adopting a school in South Sudan. A permanent primary school costs approximately $600 per student, which means that a one year commitment of $50 a month can build permanent classroom space for one student.
Other funding oportunities include:
- $200 pays one cook per month to prepare school lunches.
- $150 pays one school security guard per month.
- $150 pays one teacher's salary for one month.
Host a Fundraising Event
There are many ways to raise funds for education in South Sudan, including organizing a race or walk-a-thon, or hosting a benefit auction. Whatever the fundraising event, a Sudan Sunrise representataive will be available to attend and speak about our efforts to bring education and reconciliation to South Sudan. You can also create your own personal or group fundraising page at www.Firstgiving.com/sudansunrise.
