The ANGOLA PROJECT 2012

We have helped build schools in Caala and Santa Cruz Alta in rural Angola, Africa! Please check out the pictures!

But...our work is not done. There are still over 4 million children in Angola who do not have a school to attend.

The Angola Project is a collaborative effort of students and adults in Tucson, AZ working together to build a school in Angola. We are raising money for
RISE International, an organization which works to rebuild lives and communities by partnering with Angolan churches, community leaders, and government officials to build primary schools in rural Angola, bringing the opportunity to receive an education to thousands of children. RISE embraced a dream to impact Angola through education -- one child, one classroom, one school at a time.

The Angola Project started in 2007 when three Ironwood Ridge High School students decided they wanted to make a difference in the lives of children in Angola. Many schools, churches, teams, and local businesses partnered for three years to send a shipping container filled with school supplies, clothing, and soccer equipment to rural Angola. Those containers arrived and the supplies were distributed to those most in need in this war-torn country.

The containers made a positive impact, but our efforts shifted to fundraising to build schools in 2010.
