Get Involved: School Connect
School Connect!
Imagine what it would be like to attend school or teach classes without a pencil or a piece of paper. Every day, hundreds of thousands of students and teachers in Malawi do not have access to the most basic school materials. In an effort to support education in Malawi, G4G has started a school sponsorship program - School Connect. This program links US schools, youth groups and other organizations to under resourced schools in Malawi.
The first phase of School Connect is collecting materials for one teacher supply closet. Each supply closet will contain enough materials for 11 teachers to teach 1,000 children for one school year. In addition to improving the lives of children in Malawi through their generous donations, the US participants will also have the opportunity to learn more about the culture, history and challenges that their peers in Malawi face every day.
Following a successful first phase of School Connect, the US organization can assist with capital campaigns for school improvements, send volunteers to the school and provide other support as needed. Participants are also encouraged to communicate with partner schools through letters.
If you or someone you know is interested in partnering with a Malawian school and sponsoring a supply drive, please contact us directly at or 212.957.2144 x15.
You can also download a copy of our School Connect Manual to learn more about how to sponsor a supply drive.
Over the past two years, The Abraham Joshua Heschel School in New York City has hosted two supply drives. Their hard work has supported 1,000 students and their teachers for two academic years! Thank you Heschel students!
