Self Help Africa believes young people can make a big difference!
Our curriculum-linked resources for key stage 1, key stage 2, key stage 3, key stage 4 and sixth form will bring the people Self Help Africa works with into your classroom.
Whilst our resources are provided for free, we hope that your school will help families in rural Africa by fundraising. Your school can get involved in one of our campaigns or organise your own fundraising activity at any time of the year. Every penny you raise makes a huge difference to the families we work with. |
