What is the 40 minute fundraise?
In Zambia a lesson lasts for 40 minutes. Will you fundraise for 40 minutes to fund new classrooms and teachers’ houses at Simakakata Community School? You can jump, busk, run, bake and much, much more. Learn more >

How would your local gym like some publicity in the local press?

Ask them if they will donate on a 40 minute aerobics session with all the money raised going to Simakakata Community School.

You can either set a fixed price for the session or allow people to donate what they like.

And if you generate lots of demand then consider taking the instructor out of the gym and partnering with a local school or using the Community Hall so more people can enjoy the session.

Get active and get fundraising!
