Sandy Creek High School is challenging schools, corporations and individuals to meet or beat their efforts in raising money for ASAP Africa in support of their mission to cultivate self-reliance in southern Africa. Last year students raised $933.22 towards eliminating poverty in Africa and now would like to increase the total funds with the community’s help.

Help meet or beat the efforts of Sandy Creek students by joining a team with goals of assisting rural communities improve their own lives.

ASAP Africa (www.asapafrica.org) began their work in southern Africa 12 years ago, implementing several programs to empower rural communities with the skills, knowledge and access to resources to improve their own lives. All os ASAP Africa's projects aim to enhance individual self-reliance as well as self sufficiency throughout the community. Projects include rural micro-finance and improvement of rural educational, vocational and agricultural skills training. Each project produces tangible and sustainable improvements to the daily lives of rural families. Self-reliance is the only path to achieving the collective vision of a world without poverty.

Sandy Creek High School and ASAP Africa have realized the importance of working together, sharing knowledge and most importantly creating sustainable change in the lives of those battling poverty. Take the opportunity to join in and create positive change that will continue long after the work of ASAP ends.
