Appeal for support in reroofing Classroom blocks

Dear friends and families, We are appealing to your generosity and solidarity to help the OLA Sisters in Côte d’Ivoire rebuild their Primary School building, which was severely damaged by a recent storm. The storm removed the school’s roof, putting at risk not only the building but also the education of our Children. We firmly believe that every child deserves an environment conducive to learning. That is why we are making this fundraising campaign to finance the rebuilding of the roof and the repairs needed to ensure the safety and well-being of our pupils. Your contribution, whatever the size, will have a significant impact. By joining us in this effort, you will help restore hope to our School Community and provide a brighter future for our Children. To donate, please get in touch with the OLA sisters directly on +225 0768408445 / +225 07 67 736445 (Accounts office: +225 0758679153 / +225 0142628859 (the OLA provincial) Email: mailto:ndaprovci@gmail.com Thank you in advance for your support and solidarity at this difficult time.
