SchoolKits for Congo has a "donate per volunteer" arrangement with dozens of events all around Australia, including fun runs, marathons, triathlons and even some non-sporting community events.

Our volunteers provide water, award medals, look after clothes and bags for the runners, distribute and collect bibs and  help set up and take down the equipment.

In return, the organisers give worthwhile donations in your name.

This link will take you to SEEK Volunteer, where our coming events are listed, choose "Sport" or "Human Rights" to find one to suit you.

2. Fundraise at School

There are so many ways for children and youth to be involved in fundraising activities

at school, like this awesome "Cupcakes for Congo bake sale, which equipped 12 children with bags, uniforms and school equipment to start school again after fleeing violence.

The EarlyAct club at Cooma North equipped 20 children for a new year back in school with this awesome fete: They sold cakes and fresh juice, guessed the photos, chose lucky numbers, played skittles, three gumboots and had great fun!

Check out the slides below!

Did you know that most of the world's French speakers are African? 
33 million of them are in the Democratic Republic of Congo, alone, and the population is growing rapidly. So, maybe young learners of French should know more about the global community they are joining.
We have made some resources to help!

Hold a French Fete

A French Fun Day can raise the profile of the language in your school, include some great learning opportunities and help needy children in  the biggest Francophone country in the world.

How about a BookFair?

A Bring and Buy Bookfair gives everyone more of what they love and less of what they don't. Such a great idea!

A Quiz night works in a school, university or club setting.

It's fun for the participants and it raises funds for children not so lucky.

We have 12 rounds of 10 illustrated questions (and answers) conveniently formatted into easy-to-show PowerPoint slideshows.

Tiny Books are a way for Australian and Congolese children to connect directly. 
We have four culturally appropriate African Storybooks to choose from, in either Swahili or French.

Each book can be colour printed on one side of an A4 page, folded, and customised by your students.

We will scan and print them for delivery with the SchoolKit, or SchoolKits, you're giving, perhaps with the help of a local service club.

If you have French students advanced enough to compose their own original Tiny Books, that's welcome too!

Make Tiny Books!

Invite a Service Club to Partner with You

For a  lovely intergenerational project in your community., invite your local Rotary Club (or other) to collaborate for the well-being of children on both sides of the globe. 

Your students can personalise the Tiny Books to accompany the Service Club's Gift!

Send a note to the newspaper too, to share the joy!
