Invisible Children built 1,000 schools in Uganda with an innovative "real-time" donation system called "Schools for Schools."  Schools in the U.S. raised money through local fundraisers -- in the neighborhood of $40 million to $50 million -- to build schools in Uganda. The Web site showed the amount of money raised for each school in Uganda (identified by name) and the amount of money that still needed to be raised.  People from Digitaria and Invisible Children went to Uganda to break ground for some of the schools.
