USAP Community School mid year Campus Updates

A mid year greetings from USAP Community School !

Over the past three months we have had multiple exciting upgrades on our school infrastructure that we would love to share with you. We are very grateful to the Roy Turner Trust for a generious donation that made the following upgrades and more possible. This voluntary gift enabled us to address critical needs not covered by our regular operating budget.

  • Multicopier: The addition of a heavy duty multifunction photocopier has made a significant difference in our staff room. The copier has streamlined printing for our faculty, especially during the busy end of term exam period eliminating the need for repeated trips to a photocopy shop in the nearby city of Marondera. This vital addition has saved valuable time and resources, and our faculty and staff are truly appreciative of this meaningful improvement.
  • Dining room and kitchen upgrade: Throughout 2024, we had been using outdoor picnic tables in our dining hall for seating. Our students and faculty are delighted to have new circular dining room tables which have enhanced their dining experience. This has allowed us to move picnic tables to their rightful purpose as gathering places outdoors, providing additional outdoor study and smaller group gatherings for all members of the community. Our kitchen staff are thrilled to have also received a chip fryer and needed replacement large cooking pots, which has increased their efficiency in our food service.

Solar Batteries 

Thanks to this fund we also expanded our solar energy capacity. The Roy Turner funding enabled us to add an additional solar battery to our 24kV three-phase solar system, a key step in growing our solar farm to reach 50kV. This enhancement strengthens our commitment to sustainability and brings us closer to our long-term goal to fully power our full campus with off-grid solar energy. 

As we draw closer to the middle of the year, we are grateful to all the donations and support we receive from you all. Through your donations, we are able to better support high-achieving and motivated students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds in Zimbabwe at the USAP Community School to experience transformative education, engage with their communities and access tertiary education and scholarships.

With Gratitude,

Education Matters and USAP Community School Team
