Maris Interiors LLP are proud to announce their commitment and support to Giving Africa.
Giving Africa are a unique charity focused on developing education by building schools in Africa, in order to eradicate poverty.
Maris are working with Giving Africa, AEAD and Article 25 to design, improve and expand the infrastructure, facilities and curriculum of Bethel Secondary school in Gourcy, a town to the north of Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the World with an estimated 57% of people living below the poverty line and 1.8 million secondary aged children not in secondary education.
Maris' Chairman, Michael Howard, commented, "This is such a fantastic opportunity to really help a whole nation. I was privileged to meet Craig Goldblatt, a pioneer in this area, and together believe we can really make a difference. We intend to send our team members to Burkina Faso to get involved in the building of the school and teaching the students, ensuring it has a robust sustainability programme."
Giving Africa's Founder, Craig Goldblatt, commented, "It is with great pleasure that Giving Africa can announce that we have such a wonderful new partner in Maris.
We are an England & Wales registered charity whose vision is "An Africa whose children have the opportunity to create empowered communities and live healthy and prosperous lives." In order to see this vision become a reality it is essential that we have the support and focus from like minded organisations who deeply care for the well being of future generations.
