EDUCATION
Education is a vital part of creating sustainable communities, empowering individuals, and breaking the cycle of poverty. That's why the Buy a Brick Foundation partners with local communities to build schools and support teachers, ensuring that every child in Zimbabwe has access to quality education.
Brick by brick, we have built over
40
school blocks and teacher living quarters.
The village of Badombe was chosen after a local pastor urgently requested, "Please consider building a school in the village." When we arrived, the reality on the ground was heartbreaking.
The two structures being used as classrooms were in deplorable condition—one, infested with bats, and the other, an old metal shed that reeked of rust and decay. With 280 school-aged children in the village and space for only 130, the situation was dire. How could a community decide which children deserved an education?
This became our most ambitious project to date. Together with the village, we set out to build not just one but three large school blocks. Two blocks were fully completed, while the third reached roof level, with the final step left to the village to finish. This was intentional—a way to give the village pride in the project, ensuring it wasn’t just a handout, but a hand-up.
Today, every child in Badombe attends school. No child is left behind due to lack of space, and the future of the village looks brighter than ever.
Behind every school brick is a story.
This incredible transformation in Badombe was only possible because of supporters like you. But there are still many villages in need of schools and resources.
