as a whole.
The school closed for a period during
the pandemic but the sponsorship
fees that were collected were used to
pay for food packages for the young
people and their carers. This was
approved by the individual sponsors.
Medical provision for students
continued in order to reduce the
impact of health problems and ensure
that the students were able to attend
school and encourage them to
achieve as much as possible.
The school also received some
Personal protective equipment and
‘tippy scales’ for sanitising fluid
dispensers.
One young person who went from
primary to secondary school was
supported through the charity to have
all of his secondary school uniform,
school utensils and tools to assist him
in engaging at school paid for,
enabling him to be fully equipped to
learn at secondary level.
The solar panelled borehole has
meant that clean, fresh water is
available for the school and its
students and workers.
18 trees were planted around the
nursery area of the school. They are
juvenile trees and the hope is that in
years to come they will provide a
shaded area for the students to play
underneath as well as harvesting the
fruit and nuts to supplement their
diet.
We have continued to fundraise on
behalf of the school in order to
provide them with a library and a
