Bethany School for Girls
We are currently $12,000 USD short of reaching our current project goal for Bethany School: help renovate the School perimeter wall to protect their property and Community Members and finish the foundation work for a new building. We have pledged to raise $30,000 towards this goal. Some funds have already been raised and directly sent to the School. Our goal is to finish fundraising for this project by the end of 2023.
