TVS works with impoverished rural schools in South Africa to provide educational opportunities for children, many of whom are orphaned by HIV/AIDS. It provides resources and teacher to teacher exchanges and runs activities and annual camps for primary and secondary school children.

Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

The funds we raise will be spent directly on children who are struggling to master basic skills in their schools in South Africa and the teachers who are striving against al odds to help them.

As a Headteacher in the UK I am appalled at the vast difference between the education our children recieve and that of the educational opportunities in Tyume Valley Schools. The teachers are poorly trained and resources almost non existent, except for what TVS has provided. Yet their enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge is undiminished.

We have set up a resource centre in one of their schools, but desparately need funds to keep our mini bus on the road to enable other local schools to use it. We also need funds to employ a teacher/librarian to help the children to make the best use of the resources and computers we have sent there.

Every little helps and the thought of the money youhave helped me raise will certainly keep me smiling  for 26 miles!
