We are incredibly grateful to GLOBAL GIVING Platform and all our friends who generously gave their donations because we were able to raise some funds. We managed to improve classes, dormitories and provide resources to meet the COVID-19 protocol. Without our donors, it would have been extremely difficult to learn in the new requirements. The funds specifically helped to improve:
- - Purchased 20 new desks and 8 tables and repaired the broken the broken to enable practice distancing between students in class
- Expanded semi-permanent classroom.
- Made 10 beds and repaired 20 beds that required repairing.
- Constructed a semi-permanent dormitory one that can fit 4 beds for the older boys
Kitchen
- Added kitchen utensils to ensure that each child had own cap, plates and spoon
- Increased water supply to the kitchen
COVID-19 Protocols
- Increased hand washing water points in the compound
- Buy washing liquid soap, temperature guns
- Masks for teachers and other workers and children who did not bring own masks.
- Purchased more learning resources (writing material, text books) and teaching aid equipment.
Although it has been hard to maintain the COVID-19 protocol in school, but with the support of your donations, we have managed to achieve great levels. There has been no case of illness during the school period. The school term run smoothly.
