Story

Thanks to everyone for supporting the building of the IHUMURE Vocational Training College in Kigali, Rwanda. Recent other donations to the Project are also shown at http://www.comfortrwanda.org.uk/

Any money you provide goes directly to the charity Comfort Rwanda (SC 030369) and this project. None of it goes on administration, and none to ourselves.

We hope to have the College started in November and completed by April 2011. When fully running it should provide Vocational Training for over 100 Kigali children per year. 

'Skills for Life' is the challenge we set ourselves. Skills that provide jobs and independence. Skills that lift street children out of poverty and into Life

Information about the College Project is on our blog at www.randomffd.blogspot.com

The building fund has approximately £85,000 in it at present.

We have a Rwandan builder and the total cost of building £90,000 - £100,000 and getting the staff in place will be another £30,000. 

We are presently seeking funds from a variety of sources, towards this figure. We know that even when we have built the College there will be substantial startup costs.

So any money you can provide will be well used.
