Past Projects

Water and Electricity

All the piped water has to travel for long distances and the use of large storage tanks means the schools, kitchens and teachers lodgings can be regularly supplied. The electricity has to be run under ground as there are frequent storms which blow down overhead wires. Schools have been supplied and also some of the local community with our pipe laying and tank installation.

School Class rooms

Over the years some classrooms were dilapidated or in a bad states of repair. Largely now, this has been remedied by repairs and the building of new units. We are now having to concentrate on other units such as computer classrooms and Home Economics Units. School kitchens used open fires with three-legged pots standing over them, but now the schools have much better kitchens and stores that prevent creatures attacking the bags of food powder.

Toilets

Over the past few years the charity has enabled toilet blocks to be built at several schools - for Teachers, and for boys and girls separately. Also hand wash basins have been provided, though obviously only cold water is laid on. At the same time the children will be learning about hygiene and cleanliness and the prevention of disease.

Teachers Lodgings

Jack Dobson was inspired to design and see to the construction of back to back single room flats. This enables some teachers to forgo the terrible ordeal of traveling for many hours and by many different buses to their rural schools. This has made all the difference to the morale of many teachers and they are extremely grateful to the charity for providing the money.

Computer Room and Agricultural Unit

Having completed the Agricultural unit at St. Andrews Primary School in the Malkerns Valley the builders remained there to set up a computer room by converting one of the old store rooms. Thank you for all your donations and continued hard work fundraising that has enabled us to complete these two projects.
