Thanks to a donation of USD20 000 grant
from the Australian Government. The project is part of our ongoing commitment
to creating an enabling environment for rural pupils to learn and realize their
full potential. We are going to furniture six disadvantaged primary schools in
Matobo and UMguza District benefiting over 4000 pupils.
We are expecting our supplier to
deliver furniture batches to some of the schools anytime this week. The schools
benefiting from the consignment, four in Matobo Rural District are Mbuso,
Guardian Angel, Tjewondo and St. Anna primary schools. The other two in UMguza are
Seventh Day Adventist and Hope Fountain primary Schools.
We are grateful to our sponsor for
their support and trust, this is the second time in two years the Australians
are helping us. In 2017 they donated USD14 100 which we used to furnish five
primary schools in Bubi District. They were impressed with the way we carried
out the project, overall aims, objectives and our modus operandi.
All of our projects are designed
according to schools’ needs and letters of assistance we often receive from schools.
In other cases, school-heads directly approach us for help and sometimes we
identify schools through our partners who have the experience in living and
working as educators in certain schools with abject conditions.
As we speak, we have a compilation
of several schools on the waiting list. Some schools do not have adequate
furniture while some have dilapidated infrastructure. We therefore appeal to
various funding and corporate bodies for support to reach out to these schools
with provisions of furniture, building of classrooms, sports equipment and
sanitary wear and other educational materials as we run various projects
simultaneously.
