Bright School Is IN…London!

Campaign to
FURNISH & FINISH
Bright School’s new classrooms!

 We just completed a massive construction project to build a new two-story building with 8 modern classrooms—which our students named “London.” Together, we raised and borrowed (interest free!) $95,000 during the past year, which was used to excavate the scenic hillside plot, lay the foundation, and construct the new building. We are now in the process of furnishing our larger, brighter classrooms as well as our library and computer/robotics room.

Join our Fundraising Campaign to raise $7,000 more to complete the finishing touches so our widely acclaimed demonstration school can accommodate the growing requests for openings in an engaging, playful learning environment that truly respects children.

Here's what we need to complete our
London building

• 6 bookshelves for classrooms & the expanding library
• 10 folding-leg tables for classrooms, lunch space, computer/robotics room, & our library
• 8 free-standing chalkboards
  
• 8 student bookbag storage racks
• Ramps & steps on the hillside to assure full access to upper & lower floors
  
• Plants to prevent erosion, help with rainwater management, & provide an attractive school environment
  

Your DONATION will furnish these Bright School classrooms, install accessibility ramps, and repay our loan—so we can continue to provide our students with an innovative learning environment that will help them develop entrepreneurship, self-esteem, leadership, collaboration, analytical thinking,
curiosity, and empathy.

Whatever amount you DONATE today will help us reach our fundraising goal and
expand our social impact in Rwanda.
No contribution is too small!
We are passionate about creating a legacy that will
make the world a better place for all of us.

Why Do Teachers and Children Love
Bright School?

---

Vulnerable children deserve a
high-quality education, too!

Every year at Bright School, about 74 students rely on scholarships to stay in school. Our Fund a Future program covers…

• School fees, expected to increase to $70 per term, in order to pay teacher salaries and operating expenses
• Nutrition, which is daily porridge until our kitchen is built and we can provide a full lunch
• Basic health insurance for families who are struggling
• School uniforms (shirt, pants or skirt, and a pullover sweater) and occasionally shoes and socks, required in Rwanda
• Bus transportation for those who live too far away to walk
•  School supplies such as backpacks, notebooks, and pens as needed

 
Our goal is to raise $45,000 in scholarship funds for the 2023-24 school year. Children from preschool through P6, and their families, are so grateful for your continuing support!

 When children are active learners—through play and projects—they gain understandings and skills that last a lifetime. Teachers (and families) in Rwanda are eager to learn how to offer students the best education possible.

  TEACH Rwanda mentors teachers to use evidence-based strategies. The mentoring process includes these four required stages.

1.  Conduct a detailed school needs assessment at no charge, to determine each classroom’s current strengths and areas for the school to improve.

2.  Observe at Bright School—for all school leaders and staff—to see the CBC integrated with curious, joyful children. (Module 1)

3.    All school leaders and staff (up to 15 people) participate in four full-day introductory, engaging, practical mentoring workshops. Cost for our partners is $1000, plus meals and transport. (Module 2)
 
4.    Participate in follow-up classroom mentoring visits, as often as preferred. Cost of our partners is a minimum of $100 per mentor plus transport and meals. (Module 3)

When one teacher’s life and career is transformed, hundreds, even thousands of students will be better prepared to move into the future with confidence and the capacity to lead.

We urge you to support our proven teacher mentoring system today!
