Achieve in Africa

A Message From Boston University Student Brendan Callahan:



In my final year here at Boston University, I co-founded a non-profit organization called Achieve in Africa with another BU student, Alyssa Snow. Starting this organization has been something I have wanted to do ever since I visited Africa two summers ago (as a sophomore) and saw children thirsty for knowledge, but lacking the facilities and supplies needed for a proper education.



The mission of the organization is to give children in Africa the ability to achieve in school by providing the facilities and supplies needed for a proper education.



Currently, the goal is to raise $30,000 for Olasiti Primary School in Tanzania. This school was chosen because it is overcrowded and the villagers are mostly subsistence farmers who are unable to support the school since household incomes average between only $90 and $100 per year. For pictures and information about this school and the organization, please visit AchieveInAfrica.org



After graduation in May, I will be traveling to Tanzania in June to oversee construction. The cost of the flight will not be paid for by donations. All funds raised will go directly to the materials and labor required for this school. Since Achieve in Africa a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, all donations are tax-exempt.



I would appreciate if you passed on this email to anyone who you think would be interested in the cause. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
