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 >

A very simple idea for you.

Ask your local pub if they can host a ‘name the bear’ contest for you.

It works works like this:

• Buy a teddy bear and give them a name.
• Create a list of 100 names on a sheet of paper with a big ‘Name the bear’ headline at the top.
• Display them prominently behind the bar.
• Sell each name for £1.
• Once all the names have been sold give the bear to the person who guessed the correct name.

Whatever you decide to do with your 40 minutes we hope you have a whole load of fun and raise lots of money for Simakakata Community School. If you have any questions please leave them below.

Thank you!
