The Need

Many young people in countries that are our closest neighbours receive little or no education at all.  Many remote villages in our island communities either do not have a school or do not have anyone  to teach the children.

These communities want a better life for their children but feel trapped and  helpless – they have very little in the way of a cash economy – they grow their own food, they still  hunt and fish, they sell any cash crops to those who have paid jobs, usually in towns.  However,  what money they do have comes spread out throughout the year. Barely enough to  sustain them personally let alone start a school with resources needing to be bought.

They want their kids to have the opportunities that other kids get in the towns and cities,  but are forced to resign themselves to their situation, with little hope of any real change  in the future. We are determined to help by bringing biblical worldview education to these villages but the need is  big and the funding is limited. We need your help.

The Bush Schools Project

The Bush Schools Project is aimed at working through existing schools and churches to reach remote places. The local community will provide a facility (usually a bush hut) and will provide support for the Supervisor of the school (usually in goods and services).

A local person would be trained as the school Supervisor, ideally at one of our existing schools, and would then be sent to set up and run the school in their village. We are beginning with a 'Learning to Read' program that will provide a good level of literacy in the first year. Each year the school would have an intake of the 'Learning to Read' students who would then progress into the normal year levels using the A.C.E. Curriculum.
