Dear friends, donors, and interested people,
Our partner school near Harare, Zimbabwe has 327 children, 57 of which are boarding, but their target enrolment is 379. They have a strong sustainability vision but there are significant obstacles on that path.
They are currently focusing on farming projects to provide food for school meals or income from sales to fund running costs; for example they have around 150 chickens, 32 pigs, and a vegetable border growing spinach, beetroot, peppers, and tomatoes to be used in school lunches. Parents also pay some school fees but this only covers arounf 50% of their costs which makes support from donations vital.
The biggest issue we are currently trying to tackle is water security. The school has a bore hole but it is manually operated and non-perennial. Installing a solar powered perennial bore hole will proivde year-round water security, allowing crops to be grown consistently and drinking water to be provided.
Thank your staying up to date with our project.
