Project 4 Africa
Want to make a difference to a child’s life?
Yes? Well, I mean a real difference in an area where many families survive on less than 60p per day, temperatures are above 40c, there is little water, homes are little more than garden sheds and there is no mains drainage.
Despite the real challenges that daily life entails, children are determined to go to school. They will often have to walk miles each day, often in bare feet, to attend the nearest school (if they are lucky).
The aim of this project to help people to help themselves to break out of the cycle of poverty that they find themselves in by giving the opportunity of education.
One modest school in Africa will enable thousands of children to receive and benefit from that education.
If you really want to make that difference, then please read on …
A Chief, speaking on behalf of all the other Chiefs in the area, said on the news that the school will be built :
"What is going to happen at Namanyanga is like a dream. The new school blocks will attract more and more pupils in the area to register and attend school. On our part we will encourage the pupils to attend classes and parents to send their children to school.
Lastly, what is more important.....is the kind spirit behind what is happening. The heart and spirit of giving and providing by our brothers and sisters in the UK is paramount to us as Chiefs and the community and we respect and highly value this kind gesture."
Fund raising progress - we are almost there! Building work has started but expanded scope and currency exchange rate fluctuations have increased the target, so please keep the donations coming. Thanks.
