Exodus Volunteer in Tijhza, Morocco

Peter Florence, a regular volunteer at our project in Tijhza, Morocco, gives a guided tour of the school where volunteers are working in conjunction with Baraka Community Parternships.

Millais School and Baraka!

Millais School in West Sussex is helping Baraka Community Partnerships by sponsoring the village of Katube in the Chikumbi district of Zambia. We are hoping with the help of Millais to be able to build a new school for the children of Katube, who currently attend lessons under a tree – unless, of course, it's raining.



To the students, families and friends of Millais School, THANK YOU so much! Please make sure to visit our dedicated Against Malaria page to donate a net to the people of Katube:

Remember that until the end of term we are receiving matched funds from the Against Malaria Foundation. So, every £2.50 you donate means we can get two nets instead of the usual one. Statistically speaking, donating 20 nets is likely to save one child's life. At the moment, that costs £25.

Getting a Kick out of our Projects in Zambia!

Baraka has teamed up with a fantastic enterprise called Alive & Kicking, which employs 60 local people in Chawama, Zambia where we work closely with the Chawama Sports Academy to inspire children through sport whilst raising awareness of the dangers of AIDS, alcohol and drug abuse, and promoting education and social integration.

Here are Alive and Kicking's basic principles:

• To employ previously unemployed adults in Africa at a fair wage to hand stitch sports balls;

• To donate durable, repairable leather balls to children in some of the poorest communities in Africa; and

• To warn children about the dangers of HIV/AIDS, malaria, and TB by printing every ball with health awareness messages.
