This Giving Season, make the future bright with a gift to the Early Childhood Center at Mukwashi Trust School.

With your help, the campus will be able to welcome 25 three and four-year-olds with a remodeled building and covered play area all their own. Your donation will cover the costs of reconstruction, buy new desks, learning tools, and recycled equipment for a new playground!

The future is only $3,500 away! Help us meet our goal and change the world today with Bridges of Peace and Hope and Mukwashi Trust School.

Working together to promote respect, understanding, and communication.
