SchoolKits for Congo
Sociable and Creative Service for Rotary Clubs
Celebrate service and togetherness, while giving a hand-up to the younger generation.
You could do it by:
1. Creating Tiny Books for children who have no books at all, and adding them to a SchoolKit which will provide them with the primary education they crave! (The recipient children have escaped armed violence on foot and lack the basics of uniform, bag, and writing equipment.)
​2. Partnering with a local primary school to do the artwork, while you provide the financial support to enable their connection.
3. Hosting a Gapminder Quiz fundraiser, at your club.
4. Whatever your club likes to do!
​
SchoolKits for Congo is registered with Rotary Australia Overseas Aid Fund.
SchoolKits are created by a team of widows and abandoned mothers who use this income to house and educate their children.
Each donor receives a photo of their special gift in the hands of a child who really needs it.
​
Race in groups to name as many of the countries that make up Africa as you can!

Fun Challenges for Your Members
Download Your
Tiny Books
to Customise
There are four African Storybooks to choose from,
in either Swahili or French.
Each book can be colour printed on one side of an A4 page, folded, and customised by your members.
(Remember the recipients don't speak English!)
We will scan and print them for delivery with the SchoolKits, you're giving.
Invite a School
to Partner ?
Making SchoolKit Tiny Books and geography games are fun experiences for your club members to share,
but you could also invite your local school to collaborate
for the well-being of children on both sides of the globe.
It will make a lovely feel-good story of intergenerational kindness for your local newspaper too!
