Education is central to growth, empowerment, and a move towards self-sufficiency in developing nations. It is associated with such benefits as increased earnings and better health. Education has the potential to end the spread of poverty from generation to generation. Most schools in West Africa and the Horn of Africa need to be rebuilt, access to safe drinking water, latrines and proper school room furnishings are rare to find in schools located in most African nations. Dilapidated structures and makeshift buildings are common in all the communities. Wars and extreme poverty have worsened the situation. Life plans to construct school buildings that provide for quality teaching and learning, supply safe drinking water and latrines and create a comfortable child oriented learning environment for these deprived children. Life staff will work closely with the Ministry of Education, in each country to monitor the project and provide additional support, maintenance and sustainability of the facilities that will be provided in the schools. We Hope that our generous donors will help by sponsoring a student Sponsorship for a student for a whole year is $360 Quran Teaching School construction cost is $5,000 Sponsorship of Quran instruction classes for 1 year is $1,200
