Hands Around The World aims to support disadvantaged children by improving teaching and learning conditions in schools and sponsoring individual students. Our main focus is the town of Bugarama in Rwanda which we have been visiting regularly for 12 years. Over that time we have seen a significant transformation in schools.
Our latest project, with the help of grant funding from Jersey Overseas Aid is the construction of new classrooms at Bugarama Cite Secondary School. We are also supporting Muko Secondary School with their Street Children's Lives Matter campaign. Our target for this year's challenge is £6,000.
