Give 300 Zimbabwean Children an Education

Happy Holidays to all our donors!

Since the last report in September, we have had the best months of donations since the project's inception! Go, team! Thanks to all of you we raised $1900 and were able to help 33 children from the respective schools! The children received payment of school fees, stationery (school supply pack) and uniforms. The stationery supplied consists of a backpack, 16 writing books, 8 pens, a ruler, 1 sellotape, 3 rolls of khaki cover and 3 rolls of plastic cover to last the school term.

At the breakfast school, we supplied 11 children with school fees for 2020 as well as uniforms and a school supply pack. At Masuwe 9 children were assisted with school fees, uniforms and a school supply pack and at Sekebelo school 13 children were supplied a school supply pack, uniforms and school fees paid for 2020.

We would like to take this time to thank our new members of the team. You the donors. Without your generosity, this project would not be funded and we would not be able to help our communities in Victoria Falls. SO thank you!

We would like to thank our donors for their extremely generous donations over the past few months. The donations received have helped make a massive difference and contribution towards improving the education of several young scholars in the area. These donations help us achieve our goal of purchasing learning materials such as exercise books, writing and colouring materials, this will give the students the chance to expand their knowledge effectively and give them the chance and ability to take class notes home with them on subjects such as Math, English, Geography and Conservation to name a few.

The received GlobalGiving funds will be used to pay fees, provide stationery and uniforms for 17 kids (10girls and 7 boys) across the three schools we are working with. The students will each receive a stationery supply of 16 writing books, 8 pens, a ruler, 1 sellotape, 3 rolls of khaki cover and 3 rolls of plastic cover to last the school term. The students will receive a complete set of school uniform a dress (girls), shirt and shorts (boys), a pair of school shoes, a backpack and 2 pairs of socks each. For some of our students, it will be their first time getting a full set of uniforms at once. All the supplies will be distributed on the 10th of September when schools open for term 3.

Since it is currently school holidays, we are not able to take any photographs but we can assure you, that the pictures will arrive soon after term 3 begins.

We would like to thank our donors immensely for their generous donations and we look forward to future engagements.

Thank you from the ALERT team.

Due to a lower than expected level of funding ALERT has not been able to provide any supplies to the Children. We hope to improve the success of our fundraising efforts in order to help these Children, we hope you will help us to help them along the way.

We will be pushing this project on social media over the next few months, in an attempt bring the campaign to the attention of new donors who want to help provide educational materials for the children of Zimbabwe.

ALERT is aiming to considerably increase the amount of funds raised. Using social media as the main channel to identify possible future donors and direct them to the Give 300 Zimbabwean Children an Education page.

We are so pleased to share this update on Masuwe Primary School with you!

Thanks to your generosity, we've been able to supply every child with a set of stationery to start the new year with. Each of the students, many of whom have never had their own book to write in is receiving a pack of books, a ruler, pencils and a pencil sharpener!

And for the little ones who don't write yet? We had so much fun buying a big bright bunch of learning materials for our Early Childhood Development class to help them get the best start to their education by learning through play. This will help them develop congitive, social and motor skills as well as grow their confidence in a learning environment.

But wait - that's not all! We also have our first sets of reading books that will become the future Masuwe Primary School Library; not only helping children hone their English literacy skills, but inspiring their creativity and broadening their dreams.

School is already out for the year and we can barely contain our excitement at surprising the children with their new learning materials in January. We look forward to sharing the photographs of this happy occasion with you.

From everyone at ALERT and the Staff at Masuwe Primary School, we say an enormous thank you. Now let's keep the great momentum going! Next stop - two new classrooms!
