Lets Bring The Smile To Magaya Primary Kids

By Kudakwashe Dizha | Coordinator

To The Friend Of Magaya Primary

"Education is the backbone of community development, it brings innovation, it brings the resources and it restores and amplifies the voices of the community to demand for their rights'" the words from the Chairperson of Magaya Primary School Mrs Patricia Dzotso when we met in March 2016 to review progress on the construction of two classroom blocks at the school. In 2013 we started an important journey with you, the journey of constructing two classroom blocks with a total of four classes and four inside offices. With your contributions we have travelled the longest part of the journey. All the classrooms blocks are now complete with the only work remaining being flooring, inside plastering, painting and glazing.

As we celebrate this milestone, we remain touched, in their incomplete state the classrooms are already being used by grade Zeros and the grade Ones (1) students as the school has acute shortage of learning space. Mrs Wachipa the school head at the briefing meeting indicated that they were left with no option but to start using the classrooms in their incomplete state as the school lacks the financial resources to complement the effort of Rozaria Memorial Trust and its partners. The school enrolment has gone down in the past years thereby greatly affecting the cash-flow at the school and the problem is further worsened by the fact that the remaining students are failing to pay their school fees. She said “We are pleading with friends and other development partners that they join hands with us to see us complete this journey, it pains that we are stuck at the very end. Let’s bring a smile to the faces of these kids'.

The Treasurer of Magaya School Development Committee, Mr Chamunorwa Njenje highlighted that for the completion of the journey to be a reality, the school needs US2500,00 to cater for cement and labour costs for flooring, painting and glazing.

It is important to complete this journey as we strive to provide the best learning environment for the students at Magaya Primary School, with this in mind we continue to look for your helping hand to make this come to fruition. We have moved the longest miles of journey together and we will be happy to have you with us until we reach the finishing line. Let’s bring the smile to Magaya Primary School kids.

Yours Friend in Development

These Kids Already Using the Unfinished Classrooms

Join Hands With Us, The Work Is Most Done

By Kudakwashe Dizha | Coordinator

Dear Rozaria Memorial Trust Partner

We have travelled together since 2012, navigating the rough and winding terrain but we are grateful that huge progress has been recorded in the construction of two classroom blocks at Magaya Primary School. We started together in the laying of foundation for both buildings, putting together the main superstructure and the roof of the classroom blocks in the year 2013 and 2014.

However, the anticipated progress to have the two classroom blocks completed by 2015 has been hampered by lack of adequate financial support. Despite the setback, the community was mobilised to contribute towards the plastering and flooring of the classes. As result, both the classrooms are now plastered both inside and outside. This has seen a great improvement in the state of condition of the classroom blocks which will provide a better learning environment for the kids at the school.

As we recognise the tremendous progress which we have recorded together in the past three years, our hearts are still heavy as we still need to finish flooring of the buildings. This work requires a total budget of $3000, 00 to cover for 150 bags of cement and labour fees for flooring, glazing and painting. In addition support will be appreciated in procurement of classroom furniture for the four classrooms. The school is using the classrooms in their uncompleted state housing the early childhood students.

We continue to call upon for your support for us to achieve our ultimate goal of a proper and conducive learning environment for the kids at Magaya Primary School. The enrolment at the school continues to take nose dive because of lack of adequate learning infrastructure; low enrolment is resulting in the school to failing to raise meaningful funds that can also contribute towards the development of the school.

For further information relation to the project, please do not hesitate to get in touch on rozaria@africaonline.co.zw or rozariamemorialtrust@hotmail.com. Thank you for your continued support, together we can provide proper infrastructure at Magaya Primary School.

Yours Sincerely
