Hold a team-building day with a difference

Is your company considering holding a team-building day?  Why not bring your team to Green-Works, work alongside our staff to fill a container of vital furniture for communities living in poverty in Sierra Leone and Ghana and spend the afternoon fundraising to send it overseas.      

Schools- send your unwanted desks to Africa 

Green-Works needs your help to send ten containers of school and other furniture to Africa each year.   Get your class involved in fundraising to send a container of school furniture to schoolchildren in Sierra Leone or Ghana.   Green-Works will provide you with resources to help you to follow the journey of a desk from your school to an African village, and help you to find out what life in an African village is really like.

Get fit and get sponsored!

Facts

Around 72 million children of primary school age in the developing world were not in school in 2005

1.4 billion people (a quarter of the developing World) live in extreme poverty

According to UNICEF, 24,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they “die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world. Being meek and weak in life makes these dying multitudes even more invisible in death.”

Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names

 Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen
