THE ROBIN AND SYLVIA GOODALL CHARITABLE FOUNDATION TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT} (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Tanzania Mama Sylvia Primary and Pre- Primary School, Njorleti Mama Sylvia School is the largest of tGF projects. We commenced the school in 2020 after buiSding two classrooms and an office. We were eager to support the new school in order to improve the teaching and learning environment for children, many of whom travel several miles on foot each way to attend school. Prior to this the students walked 2 hours each way to attend the school in the larger village. Although tGF are funding the majority of the school, by working with others we can achieve our goals together. The key to this project is to bring together all the interested parties required to make it a long-term sustainable success. The school has grown to 255 pupils in 5 years. The pupils numbers are due to rise to 360 by 2027. As part of completing 5 classrooms, we have supplied table5 and chairs for 360 pupils together with teachers desks and chairs. We also built a teachers office and a store. Our largest project this year was building a dining/ multipurpose hall, complete with kitchens, store and Stacking tables and chairs for 360 pupils. This allows the students to eat indoors and to use the hall for multiple other activities. Additionally, we provided 4 teachers, teacher training and mentoring, along with teaching resources, plus built two playgrounds for enjoyable sporting and fun facilities for the children. In 2023124 tGF provided the funds for a borehole and taps, the project was delivered on our behalf and in conjunction with the Mud House Children's Foundation. There are taps inside and outside the school grounds. The school benefits from fresh drinking water. invaluable to the children. The taps provided outside the school are used by sever31 villages and thi5 means that these communities no longer need to obtain their drinking water frorn muddy rivers. The borehole is over 200m deep, and when there are droughts it will literally be a life saver. A significant part of the success has been the appointment of Otilia Issuja as head teacher. We funded Otilia's Education degree. She achieved a first and we are very proud of her. The Village Community built the original mud house cla55room with rocks as seat5 and provided two teachers. They have donated the 25 acres of land and the original toilets. tGF registered this land designated for a Government school. The Regional Council built a road to the school. TASAF Ithe Government's Tanzanian Social Action Fund) provided two teachers houses and a new toilet block. In 2023 KWF the German Federal Government Foreign Aid Organisation built a staff room and two further classrooms bringing the total number to 9. The District MP has visited the remote village to see the school first hand on a number of occasions and he is giving it his full backing. We also have the commitment of the Local and Regional Councils. The Headteacher has produced a detailed 4 year plan, which our board have approved. This is a substantial commitment by tGF, which we believe is required to ensure the f uture success of the school.
THE ROBIN AND SYLVIA GOODALL CHARITABLE FOUNDATION TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORTI (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Mama Sylvia School to be a Government School going forward The District Government Officials have now registered Mama Sylvia school as a Government School. They are totally committed to its development and are already providing support as needed. Wasso, Loliondo and Sakala Primary Schools We have continued to support Wasso, Loliondo and SakaliL Primary Schools in order to ensure that young children in the remote area of Northern Tanzania are given as good an education as p055ible to maximise their chances of moving on to secondary schools, cind beyond. We do this by providing teaching asslstants, teticher training and mentoring. In the last 14 years, since we have been supporting Wa5so Primary School, the school has grown from 20 pupils in 2010 to 830 in 2024. The number of classrooms remains the same, with only three more Government teachers. there are now over 100 pupi15 per cla55 and one teacher to 100 children. tGF, by providing additional teaching assistants, helps to improve the situation significantly. UK In the UK tGF donated.. £10,000 to one Church Barista project. This is our largest running UK charity project, we have siipported it from its inceplion in 2016. £1,000 to Brighton University in support of The Goodiill Foundation Education BA (Honsl Breakthrough Award. £2,000 to thL' Rifle Benevolent Trust tliat supports RIFLES veterans aiid their families with a 24 hour rePonse line that aims to dispatch a volunteer within an hour of calling that helpline.
