GUA Africa is excited to launch a new fundraising initiative, partnering with UK and Canadian University African Caribbean Societies (ACS) to raise money to sponsor 50 children’s education for a year, at our JAL GUA Academy, in South Sudan.
Jal GUA Academy, is a South Sudanese School set up by our Founder, Emmanuel Jal located in Sherkat, Juba. Despite the relative peace in recent years in South Sudan, children are unable to return to their homeland and are forced to stay in refugee settlements, in order to access education. Here’s where we need your help!
We hope to collaborate with as many UK and Canadian based University’s ACS as possible, to raise $35,000 for this scheme.
If this sounds like something your ACS could be interested in- reach out to our Development Manager, Camilla Robinson at camilla@gua-africa.org. She will guide you through our fundraising partners in the UK and Canada, so you can create fundraising pages which we can share here and through our social media outlets. You can fundraise in any way you like, it could be something physical like a bike ride, run or football match, or perhaps something Arts related, such as an auction or gig.
Just $600 raised by your society will sponsor 1 child for a whole year, covering their food, tuition and uniform costs.
We are so grateful to those ACS already signed up as our partners, and can’t wait to share their amazing work with you soon!
