African Diaries
Braintree School
This empty garage attached to her son’s home is where Agnes Mukasa began Braintree School.
Agnes, a trained teacher, noticed that children in the nearby village, many of them orphans, were not attending school.
And so she asked her son if she could use the garage as a classroom.
That was 13 years ago. Starting with a handful of students, Today Braintree School has 133 students including 31 orphans!
A $5000 grant from SFA’s first rally was matched by $15,000 from other friends and supporters of Braintree to provide a dorm for these and other orphans.
On behalf of Stand for Africa, Rev. Larry Smoose officially opened the new dormitory on Tuesday, October 30, 2007.
Stand For Africa offerings go directly to help existing, proven, church-related organizations that benefit AIDS Orphans.
Travel costs are NOT paid for by SFA offerings.
