At Build an Education our aim is to improve the educational resources and opportunities for children in developing countries. Initially our attention is directed towards Ghana where in 2002 only 61% of primary age children were attending school. Since then and as a result of an increased focus on education and 5% of GDP now being set aside to provide educational resources, the number of children attending school has risen dramatically. In 2011 84% of children were enrolled in school with 73% attending regularly. However the data collected for secondary education shows that only 42% of children actually go on to attend school at secondary level. We believe that providing children with a high quality education whatever their age or ability is essential; in our view education must be regarded a basic right - every child should have the opportunity for a good level of education in a safe and supportive environment. We aim to deliver this through a variety of activities beginning with a focus on the school building and fabric itself; children should have every chance to access a good quality of education in a building that is fit for use and with equipment that stimulates and informs. Many current school buildings are unfit for purpose and by yet third world standards it will take relatively little effort and funds to improve their situation. Once this has been achieved we will work to deliver furniture, fittings and learning equipment such as books and stationery.
There are now over 4 million Australians riding regularly – this represents a 45% growth over the past decade! Whilst it’s great to see more people experiencing the joy and reap the benefits of riding a bike there is a hidden dilemma: cycling participation is growing rapidly, but cycling injuries are growing at a faster rate. We are a charity with one purpose – bike rider safety. This is what drives us to create change! Our Mission: Safe bike riding in Australia Our Vision: Zero bike rider fatalities
