Projects We Support

The GoAbroad Foundation partnered with PED in 2014 to raise funds a Water Pump Project at one of Pangea’s partner schools in Uganda, St. James Primary School. The project installed a new Water Pump so the school could continue generating income and educating local children. The pump has also allowed the community at large to have much more consistent access to clean water too!

In early 2017, the GoAbroad Foundation began planning and fundraising to Build a Library for St. James School. By October 2017, we even had the chance to visit St. James School for ourselves!
