The safety of our children is our top priority. Our 18 hectare site is currently enclosed by high security walling and partly by inadequate fencing. There is increasing insecurity in the area, we therefore want to replace the remaining 400 meters of fencing with a high security perimeter wall as soon as possible. This important security measure will help to prevent break-ins, robberies, and possible physical and psychological harm to the children.
The perimeter wall is a vital part of the security of the campus. The 400 meters of inadequate fencing is the weakest link in the current security measures. The campus is a very busy place and it is sometimes very difficult to differentiate between an intruder and a visitor. There is increasing insecurity in the area and several schools have already been targets of violent robberies. Due to the location and size of the campus it is very difficult to ensure high levels of security 24/7.
Replacing the fencing with a high security concrete wall , topped with razor wire, will help prevent unwanted people gaining entrance to the campus. Once inside the grounds they have access to all areas of the campus, the children, the kindergarten, two schools and the clinic. The improved security will help provide for a safer enviroment for the children, staff and patients. It will also protect the equipment and property. Being a boarding school a high level of security is needed day & night.
Increased security measures will help provide a relaxed environment where children, staff and patients can learn, work and get medical attention thus benefitting many people in different ways. It will help not only the current student population of 850 and 90 staff members but also of those in years to come. By improved security at the campus this should help our neighbours and also have a knock on effect in the local community. Security is a basic human right and our top priority.
