Dwankhozi Hope

Provided funds for the digging of borehole (water pump) and the building of ventilated improved pit latrines. The purpose of the water project is to provide water that meets portable water quality standards to the school and the surrounding community.  The existing water well at the school is too shallow hence it has dried out.  Drinking water is currently transported by ox from a distant source.  The new borehole is expected to provide safe drinking water that will also be used for irrigation of the school garden.  It is expected that safe drinking water will help reduce the prevalence of waterborne diseases such as dysentery among the students and the surrounding community.  The proximity of the new well to the school will also result in reduced time and effort in obtaining portable water for the students.

Provide students with textbooks, supplies, sporting equipment, and desks. Provide teachers with supplies, books, furniture and equipment.  Occuring over a three year period.

Purchase and deploy solar panels to provide power for lighting and e-readers.  Purchase and deliver Kindles to provide reading material.

Build housing facilities on campus for teachers.  This will attract trained teachers from nearby cities as well as provide local volunteer teachers a place of residence near the school.  Thus, imroving the quality of teachers in the school, improving attendace by teachers and ultimately the quality of education for the students.  So far, we have built two housing units (20,000 for the first unit designed for one family and 30,000 for the second unit designed for two families)
