To reach her goals, the "En Classe" foundation, of course, needs money. Renovating a school, including the school desks and all educational material can cost 20,000 up to 100,000 US dollars, depending on the size of the school and the condition of the building.
In looking for financial support, several sources are used:
- families and friends all over the world
- businesses, clubs and associations overseas (Lions Club, Rotary)
- businesses and expats in Kinshasa
- other foundations
- cooperation with primary schools all over the world
Do you have a business and would you like to sponsor a classroom or a school? Are you a member of a club or association that would like to help? Do you know a primary school who wants to support a primary school in Kinshasa? Please, send an email or contact Sylvia van den Brink by phone: (001) 914-305-4558.

Due to a partnership with the "Bralima Foundation" in Kinshasa, the "En Classe" foundation has no overhead costs. We would like to point out once again that every donation will be for the benefit of the children in Kinhasa. All of the materials and labour are sourced by locals, so secondary benefits will flow on to the community as well and results are maximized.
