Goals for 2023 -2024

Our students have been performing well and word is spreading around the village and beyond. Accordingly, we are now attracting students from further away to our school. Since we do not have a school bus, these children are transported to and from school on motorcycles as seen here below.

You find 3-4 children being transported on a motorcycle in such a precarious way that exposes them to a lot of risks. Such as risks of motor accidents, as well as, risks of developing respiratory conditions such as pneumonia when they are riding like this in the cold wind without proper safety gear.

Therefore, for this year and on to 2024, our main goal is to raise funds for a minibus for the school. This will ensure that we are providing our students with safe transportation to and from school. Additionally, it will also enable us to take the students on educational field trips in addition to sports, music, drama, and art festivals.
