Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We want to ship a 40-foot container full of educational resources; text books, furniture and tools for workshops (metalwork, woodwork, food science, building, clothing and textile, agriculture, art and ceramics). We still need the following items to fill up the container and we  will be very happy if you could either donate them or contribute for their purchase. 

  • 120 skid base Titan chairs: @£35 each 
  • 120 titan exam desks (polypropylene) @£50 each
  • 3 Titan exam desk trollies @£270 each 
  • 120 Titan folding chairs @£25 each

  • 15 teacher's chairs @£150
  • 15 Sewing machines @£300
  • Primary School text books and some children's reading books. 
  • Science laboratory equipment 
If you want to donate any item from the list above please drop it at your child's boarding house if you are a parent at St Edward's School, or you can contact me at chitsengah@stedwardsoxford.org and I will arrange for collection. 

We are planning to send this container before the end of February. 

Although the container is our main immediate priority, we also hope to raise sufficient funds to enable the first building phase of the Nyanga North High School to serve underprivileged students in this remote part of Zimbabwe. We plan to build 6 workshops, 2 classroom blocks and 2 modest teacher’s houses.  At current prices the cost of the bricks is £31,000. Donations towards this project would also be enormously appreciated.
