“Donation to Build African Schools (BAS)”
Fee disclosure:
Venmo may deduct standard payment processing fees from donations unless the donor chooses to cover those fees at the time of giving.
Build African Schools, Inc. is a U.S. registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. No goods or services were provided in exchange for this contribution.
Cost Transparency: Every Dollar Builds a Future
At Build African Schools (BAS), we believe donors deserve clear, straightforward information about how their contributions are used.
The average cost to build a fully functional school is approximately $80,000, covering construction materials, skilled labor, and a modest contingency for unforeseen expenses. BAS is a 100% volunteer-run organization. While the overwhelming majority of donations go directly toward school construction and project-related activities, a small portion may be used to cover unavoidable administrative costs, such as banking and payment processing fees, currency exchange costs, and minor miscellaneous expenses required to operate responsibly.
Our focus is on efficiency, accountability, and long-term impact: durable classrooms that serve students and communities for decades.
Please note that all U.S. dollar estimates are subject to exchange-rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the Kenyan Shilling.
What Your Support Can Build
A complete school: approximately $80,000
A single classroom: approximately $18,000
Student desks: approximately $40 per desk
Why This Matters
A permanent classroom changes more than a school day. It gives students a safe place to learn, teachers a stable environment to teach, and communities a foundation they can rely on for generations. Every contribution helps move a project forward.
