Schools Fundraising Pack

Maybe you love school or maybe you can’t wait to leave; but can you imagine what the future would be like for you if you could not read or write!

Fundraising within your school is a great way to get involved with Open Schools Worldwide and make it possible for a child to learn to read and write.

Not only does fundraising give you a chance to help some children or young people but it can be great fun too.

To help you get started we have a great idea, its called “Rent a Desk Day”. CLICK HERE TO TO GO TO OUR “RENT A DESK DAY” PAGE.  We plan to post more ideas and information for teachers here, please visit us again soon.

High School Student Outreach

Are there educationally marginalised children and young people living within easy reach of your school? You can use our “School-in-a-Bag” to help these children.

We can train grade 9, 10 and 11 students to use our materials to bring hope and life-changing learning to hurting children.

Open Schools Worldwide started life as ACSI’s CHILDREN AT RISK PROGRAM designed to help Christian schools serve the poor, impact their community and prepare their students for life.

Through the program, students are exposed to a discipleship experience beyond that the classroom can offer. They see Christ’s love in action and have a glimpse of life in the Kingdom. Schools report that their students teaching Open School mature spiritually and take a more responsible attitude to their own studies.

Quotes from students teaching Open School in South Africa:

• “I now appreciate what I have”
• “I have realized that we need to love each other”
• “I have learned to share, how to open up to other children”
• “The children I teach have gone through so much pain and trauma and yet they are always ready with a smile!”
