[email protected]Two new workshop rooms so masonry and tailoring cohorts can train at the same time — doubling the number of people we can reach each year.
Demand for our courses is greater than the space we have. Masonry and tailoring cohorts have to take turns in a shared workshop, which limits how many people we can train each year.
Cramped, poorly lit spaces also make it harder to teach safely.
Two new workshop rooms with proper ventilation, lighting and secure storage, plus benches and starter equipment. The building itself will be built by masonry and carpentry trainees — the first real-world project on their CVs.
Funds are released phase by phase, so each gift ends up in finished work.
Architectural drawings, local permits, site clearing and levelling.

Every project has a signed agreement with Bweyale Vocational Education covering scope, budget, timeline and reporting.
Money is released phase by phase, only after the previous phase has been inspected and the receipts checked.
Site photos, inspection notes and receipts arrive with each payment request and are reviewed by our board.
Funders get quarterly updates. Everything is summarized in our annual report and public CRA filings.
We follow the Canada Revenue Agency's guidance for charities that fund work through a partner abroad: due diligence, a written agreement, staged payments and regular reporting.
Instructors, trainees and our partner agreed room sizes and layout.
The settlement authority confirmed the plot next to the existing workshop.
No. The existing workshop stays in use — the new rooms add capacity alongside it.
Running costs are covered by our yearly program budget. The building is designed to be cheap to run, with natural light and ventilation.
Yes. Eligible gifts of $20 or more receive an official donation receipt. If your company would like visible recognition beyond a thank-you, we treat the payment as a sponsorship instead — the partner page explains the difference.
Extra gifts go to the next phase of the same project unless you tell us otherwise. We will never redirect a designated gift to a different project without asking you first.
Phase 1 needs $3,600 more to get under way (Starts early 2027). Every gift, whatever the size, goes into finished and inspected work.
