Donate

Thank you for your generosity!  You can donate here:




100% of monetary donations are applied to the project. We do not have administrative costs as our organization is run entirely by volunteers.

Current costs can be found at 100 schools website.  

A new school costs approximately $36,000 – $51,000. To break it down, here are some of our costs:

$9 for a chair   

$44 is the cost of a desk ( 4 students/desk)

$45 provides a whiteboard 

$65 for a solid wood classroom divider   (having classroom dividers means that the space can be maximized based on the number of students/year)

$9 – $10 provides year’s school supplies  and a uniform for one elementary school child   

If you are interested in sponsoring a high school student:

 $420 provides extra tuition for one high school student per year  ( this is 2, four month semesters  with 6 different subjects). 

$600/ year for a university student, this includes a hostel fee.

The hands together are a greeting: “mingalaba”

Can I receive a tax receipt for my donation?

In brief, no.  Not through U R Building Knowledge because we are not a charity, we are a nonprofit.

As a registered nonprofit, we have more flexibility than a charity.  We can have a scholarship fund.  We can provide school books, computers and supplies… your donation is current.  It will go to support the children where they need it the most, today.  

Other charities now support the building and maintenance of schools.  John and Maung Maung Gyi are progressive and see different areas that children could need support:  clinics, computer labs, soccer fields, scholarships…  

All donations made to UR Building Knowledge are to a nonprofit organization – registered in Canada.  We do give receipts that are not redeemable for tax.
