In 2022, a maths teacher at a 6th Form College in East Sussex, UK, arranged a sponsored hair cut hoping to pay for two free places at Mukwashi. Instead, he raised over £1,200 – enough for five free places.
In 2023, a mum in Milton Keynes, UK, organised a collection of new and used spectacles at her local secondary school. Through this, 50 pairs of glasses were delivered to Mukwashi to help children and staff who were struggling to read books and the chalk-board.
Last year, teachers at the American International School, Vienna, Austria, organised a used books’ sale and other events to raise over €5,000 for Mukwashi.
Each autumn/fall, several schools around the world remember Mukwashi and raise funds for different improvement projects.
Last year, a school in Birmingham, UK, gave Mukwashi £500 from its non uniform day, and a small local school in Singapore raised $500 at its annual carol service.
Each November, students at East Ridge Middle School, Connecticut, US, hold an apple pie sale for Mukwashi. Last year, they raised $4,000 just by selling pies! What can you do?
