Foundation for Education in Guinea-Bissau

Building lives

„"Building Lives"​

Our mission: Creating new opportunities in Guinea-Bissau—one of Africa's poorest countries—since 2008.

Our mission and vision

We believe that the people of Guinea-Bissau are capable of breaking free from poverty and living full, secure lives with dignity. 

Through our educational programs, sports activities, and sustainable livelihood opportunities, we support families so that their children can attend school and grow up safely—without being exposed to vulnerable situations. 

Together, we can give change a chance!

Our Work

Education

Betel and Campaz School

The school is a bridge between tribes, where the education of a significant portion of the students is covered by donations.

• 950 students

Of these, the education of 454 students in the 2025-26 academic year was covered by donations.

 

Library

At the Cherno Camará Library, students and teachers can explore the world together.

Dormitory

A 40-bed dormitory for those who live particularly far from the school.

Sewing room

Sewing education offers a breakthrough opportunity, as other options for young girls are severely limited.

 

Radio station

The radio broadcasts health, religious and educational information, among other things. In the same building, computer science education is conducted on 25 computers.

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH

Kitchen

Elementary school children receive a hot meal daily, which for many is the only hot meal of the day.

 

Wells

Wells built with Hungarian support provide clean, filtered drinking water all year round in Cacine and the surrounding villages.

 
 

Houses of worship

Valberto travels to the surrounding villages with the message of the Gospel, and wherever a community develops, a house of prayer is built.

 

Construction of a sports hall

Device 15%

Completed work phases:

  • Landscaping
  • Point foundation
  • Strip foundation

Its objectives:

• providing a breakout opportunity,

School education will also be mandatory for those participating in the sports club, where they can hear God's message every day.

All this in the hope of giving them a chance for a better future.

Some of the difficulties they face:

Poverty

Diseases

Prostitution and Drugs

However, these are not unsolvable!

Our organization is committed to making a real difference – with the help of our enthusiastic supporters, we are building a hopeful future together.
