This is a big step for SWSC and we are really excited to be able to offer you a tax receipt for your generous donations!  If you are an international donor, you can donate through our paypall account on our website, however regrettably we are unable to issue you a tax receipt unless you pay taxes in Canada. If you have any questions, please contact Kimberly at kim@sameworldsamechance.org

We are now on twitter so don't forget to follow our progress at www.twitter.com/sameworld.  Marissa will be sending updates directly from her blackberry in the village and Kimberly will be updating on the progress made in Canada!

Co-ounders Marissa Izma and Kimberly Hurley (of Stratford, Ontario, Canada) have devoted their lives to this project. Motivated by love, they believe that education is the best means to achieve positive and great change in developing countries [meet the Co-Founders].

Progress is underway - with two sets of classroom blocks already completed (five classrooms in total), our first staff house and a second staff house in the building stage! [project details].

We have created a 14-member Zambian Board that is involved in all decision-making aspects to ensure our project is built for the community by the community [meet the Zambian Board].

We feel that sustainability is an essential part of community development. That's why a range of sustainable practices are being integrated, such as collecting rain water, sourcing energy from solar panels, and installing compostable toilets [read about our principles].

Our project is supported by schools, organizations, and motivated individuals in our community who want to make a difference. We are always looking for new partnerships and connections - so get on board and participate! [details].
