The Idjwi Island Education Fund | Helping kids to build a new primary school on Idjwi Island in DRCongo.

These kids carried water for miles to earn the money for these bricks

We are helping them build a new primary school with ample room and the resources they need to learn.

This new school will be an important investment that will benefit the hundreds of children who attend this school and the entire Idjwi community.

The construction project will provide much-needed jobs for suppliers and laborers on the island.

See Our Progress!

We are gearing up for another exciting year for the kids on Idjwi Island. We are forging new partnerships and exploring new opportunities to bring a better future to these kids. Join us.

Summer Camp!

The Fund is delighted to be offering summer camp for the kids at EP-Buhumba. Our Board Members and Fund Founders Them and Safi Nyamunongo returned home to Idjwi Island this summer with their daughter Iko, who wanted to introduce our kids to "camp". They made crafts and played some games.

The Bustani Project

The Bustani Project continues to grow! This sustainable garden project is made possible through contributions and matching funds from Microsoft Citizenship's "Youthspark" program. Last year we raised the money to supply our school kids an opportunity to fulfill their work-study requirements on site by learning to grow and caring for their very own garden. Today they are growing and tending and selling the fruits of their contributions.
