#GivingTuesday 2023: Space for Sala

Story

Each year, Maranatha participates in a global day of giving called “GivingTuesday.” Over the years, you’ve changed thousands of lives that now have access to clean water or a proper place of learning. This year, we have the opportunity to make an impact at the Sala Adventist School in Zambia.

The Sala School is bulging at the seams, with an enrollment of more than 1,300 students, ranging from preschool to 11th grade. But the program suffers due to a lack of space. Children are crammed into classrooms so tight that learning is nearly impossible. One classroom jams in more than 140 kids at a time. There are no desks in many of the elementary classrooms, so students sit on the floor, shoulder to shoulder. When there is absolutely no more space, kids sit on each other’s laps. In short, it’s a terrible learning environment.

The Sala School is a top priority of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in southern Zambia, and they asked Maranatha to help with desperately-needed classrooms. You can join us as we transform the educational experience of the Sala students with a new four-classroom block. Make a gift for Sala for #GivingTuesday. With your help, we can bring change, and create hopeful futures for God’s children here.

Although #GivingTuesday is on November 28, you can give any time. The cost for this project is $250,000, and we’re asking you to get involved. Make a gift of any amount. $5, $500, $5,000. No amount is too small, and 100% goes to help bring change to the Sala School.
