Story

This year, we are raising money as a school for the construction of Nyanga North High School.

In Mac's, we are doing our bit by setting our fundraising target to £10,000 to support the charity, which will build the following:-

- a classroom block (2 classrooms and one being turned into a Science lab)

- five workshops for practical subjects (Metal Work, Woodwork, Food Science and Clothing Textiles and Design and Technology)

- 2 teachers’ houses (to house at least 6 teachers).

Once these buildings are in place, we will be able to open our doors to Year 8 and Year 9 students.

The school will be unique in Zimbabwe and the whole of Africa. Nyanga North High School will be:

- A school that educates the least privileged children in the least privileged district in Zimbabwe.

- The first school in rural Zimbabwe where pupils will have the opportunity to excel in their areas of talent; academic, sport and performing arts.

- The first school in the district to have Science laboratories and practical subjects workshops.

- A flagship school - the first of its kind in Zimbabwe to resemble schools in more developed economies.

- The first school in the country to have a wildlife enclosure. 

Apart from the buildings, we are also want to raise about £7 500.00 to buy and ship a 40 ft container with educational resources and equipment for the above subjects. Some of the resources and equipment needed are:

- Furniture: Chairs, whiteboards, exam tables, etc

- Science laboratories and Music equipment

- Sports equipment

- Library and children's reading books

Equipment and tools for the practical subjects (carpentry, building, welding, ceramics, gardening, food sciences and clothing textiles).

We also need about £7 000.00 to start the ground clearance and excavation before the November rains fall.
