Dedicated projects and photogallery

Over the years we have funded a range of dedicated, medium-scale projects at the school, which they might otherwise have struggled to fund through bigger charities, but which were important and much-needed. These have included:

·       Toilet and Shower blocks – replacement of poor washroom and shower facilities for the boarders

·       5 New Classrooms for the primary school

·       Refurbishment of the guest rooms – these provide a valuable income stream.

·       Upgrading of the IT room

·       Installation of a disabled toilet

·       A second dining room/study area/play room created out of the more efficient use of the existing footprint of the building

·       New laundry facilities - the new laundry facilities are all in one building, and we built a concrete block for ironing. This means life will be easier for the carers supervising washing and ironing, and the boarders will spend less time carrying water from the bore hole

·       A new carpentry workshop.

·       A covered cooking area

·       Urgent repairs to the slope behind the nursery including the addition of proper drainage to stabilise the slope and prevent any further damage to the foundations of the nursery block.

·       Fire safety including training by the Makeni City Fire Force and the installations of smoke detectors, alarms and fire extinguishers throughout the school.
