Project Report | Jul 30, 2024
We're preparing for the new school year

Our little school has grown from strength to strength and now has 230 pupils.  The tougher the life gets for these families, the more they put their hope in the education of their children. 
As we prepare for the new school year, we're fundraising to help keep the school running.  Our expenses are particularly high at the beginning of the school year.  More than half of the pupils rely on bursaries as their parents cannot afford the fees, which are minimal.  Then there are the educational tools such as text books, notebooks and pens. 
We also provide each pupil with a school uniform. Parents that can contribute to the cost, however most can't afford to. We then cover the shortfall.  I know some may wonder, why a school uniform - well it actually ensures that each pupil has at least one decent outfit to wear.  These uniforms are so well worn that there is no opportunity to pass them on to younger children.  ...and just an interesting bit of information, the uniforms are made by hand by local tailors. So the funds are ploughed back into local communities.  
So we are extremely grateful to all our regular and ad hoc donars.  Thanks to you we continue to educate and contribute to future opportunities for these children and families.
