We reopen classrooms after disaster.

Reconstruction rebuilds the walls. School Aid delivers what makes a school teach again — desks, learning materials, refurbished computers and solar power — carried in by our own team and documented to the last euro.

Why we exist

The money rebuilds the school. It rarely refills the classroom.

After the 2023 Al Haouz earthquake, we drove into Morocco's High Atlas and delivered school equipment, village by village, across three missions in 2023, 2024 and 2025. We saw the pattern up close: reconstruction programmes fund walls and roofs — while children sit in rebuilt shells without desks, books, computers or power.

School Aid exists for that gap. We deliver the working classroom: the furniture and materials to sit down and learn, the refurbished IT to open digital learning, and the solar power to make it all run — in one package, in the window when it matters most.

What we deliver

Three things turn a rebuilt shell into a working classroom.

School equipment

Desks, chairs, boards and the learning materials a class needs to sit down and start again — sourced locally wherever possible, so every euro also supports the recovering economy.

Refurbished IT

Donated corporate laptops and tablets, professionally refurbished and delivered with training — opening digital learning where there was none. Companies: your retired fleet has a second life here.

Solar power

Clean, reliable power so lights, computers and connectivity work — and keep working. Where the grid ends, the classroom doesn't have to.

On the ground

We hand it over ourselves.

No sub-contracted delivery, no photographs we didn't take. Our own team drives the equipment up the mountain, counts it out, and puts it into the hands of the school.

Where we work

Three countries. One repeatable model.

Every country programme passes a Board-adopted cultural and compliance review before a single item ships. We work with local partners, in local languages, on the basis of need alone.

Back to the High Atlas

Two years after the earthquake, 220 schools across Al Haouz, Azilal and Chichaoua were still not functioning (September 2025). We know these valleys, and the relationships from three delivered missions are our head start.

Rebuilding after Typhoon Tino

Over 2,900 classrooms were damaged across Western Visayas in November 2025. On Panay we combine classroom equipment and solar-IT with accredited skills training for farming families.

Pods first, then classrooms

The June 2026 earthquakes destroyed more than 400 schools. Our gated plan delivers rapid learning pods within days, then locally built solar classroom cubes — compliance-checked at every step.

Proof, not promises

Every mission ends with a receipt you can read.

We are a small, volunteer-led team that delivers in person. That means you see exactly where your support goes: photographs, delivery records and a simple budget — published after every mission as a "where your money went" report.
