Beth's Project Tshela
Beth Griffin is raising money for The University of Nottingham
Story
We plan to expand the facilities of the cresh. At the moment over 50 children between the ages on 0 and 5 are taught in one room, they have no furniture, power or water. We intend to supply them with a well alongside an expansion of their existing classroom and a new classroom with an office and sickbay attached. We will build the school using local materials with our own hands, and hopefully pass on useful skills to the villagers to help them secure more jobs.
These children receive far fewer resources than their more urban peers, meaning that they have fewer opportunities than those of the same age. In the village very few people have jobs, there are simply non around. By providing a platform of eduction for these young children we can start to bridge the gap, and help them build a better life for their community. We also hope to encourage more children to stay in school for longer.
We will use the money to purchase all of our supplies and equipment, much of which we hope to leave behind for the community.
