Problems Facing Kyani SchoolKyani School has been operating for 22 years without classrooms or toilets. Students study under trees, exposing them to harsh weather like intense sunlight, strong winds, and heavy rain. This situation affects their academic performance, making it hard for them to move to higher grades and causing feelings of discouragement. It also leads to early marriages, lesson disruptions, high dropout rates, and persistent poverty.
The lack of toilets puts students and teachers at risk of catching diseases from germs and intestinal worms that contaminate the land and water. This causes more illnesses, more missed school days, poor health, higher dropout rates, and stunted growth among the children.
Roles of Fundraising Volunteers
As a fundraising volunteer, your main role is to help raise money for the school. Here's how you can contribute:
Organize Crowdfunding Campaigns: Create and manage online fundraising campaigns to gather donations from friends, family, and the public.
Write Proposals: Help write funding proposals to request financial support from organizations, businesses, or individuals.
Request Donations: Encourage employees of businesses or other schools to contribute funds.
Plan Fundraising Events: Organize events or activities that can generate funds, such as bake sales, charity runs, or school fairs.
Set Goals: You can focus on raising money for specific needs, like building a classroom, a toilet, or more.
How Raised Funds Will Be Used
The money raised will be used to build 18 classrooms, 22 toilets, and 1 water point. These new classrooms will give teachers a suitable space to teach and students a proper place to learn. The toilets will ensure cleanliness, reducing the risk of diseases for everyone. The water point will provide clean and safe water to the whole school community, improving their health and well-being.
Impact on the Local Community
Once the project is completed, the school will see many positive changes: increased enrollment, better academic performance, fewer diseases, improved education for girls, and an overall uplifted education system in Kyani village. Your contributions will make a lasting difference in the lives of students, teachers, and the entire community.

Opportunity DetailsYouth About Business teaches business to high school students through hosting a series of team-based business competitions. Over the course of a week, students will work in teams of 4-5 and assume the roles of the Executive Management of a public company to perform a M&A transaction.
Many students have very limited exposure to the business world, so students appreciate the team advisors for helping them understand these very complex cases. Each team advisor will cover a specific part of the transaction process to help demystify business and prepare students for their transactions.
The camp is both an educational opportunity and a competition for the students. Advisors act as both “paid” consultant and teachers during their experience. You should approach your role as advisor as if you are advising a client on the pros and cons of a deal.
Information Technology Session:
The IT volunteer helps a team of 4-5 students consider the implications of technology issues (staffing, systems integration, cost efficiencies, upgrades, etc.) in the merger and acquisition process. The advisor will spend the session helping teams think through the value of their IT and data.
Key concepts covered during this session:
• Company’s perceived role of technology (early adopter vs late entry)
• Reliance on IT for a competitive advantage
• Valuation of intellectual property assets
• Technical resources key to the ongoing operations
• Deal reliance on significant expense reductions based on IT synergies
• Deal reliance on merged or compatible infrastructure
