Projects
The builders at Salakutjelwa have finished the toilets and work has started on building the classroom now that community members have dug the foundations. See photo.
Working with partner charity Khwakhe Indvodva, renovations have been taking place at the Prince Simon Primary School. See photo.
While in eSwatini, Keith learned from Banjwayini, the head teacher at St Bernard’s School, that she had not been able to feed children for some months because the brickwork supporting the iron cooking pots had disintegrated. Working with Ton Vriend, one of the SSP team in eSwatini, the necessary material was ordered and Keith gave the head teacher some SSP money to pay for the labour. The work is finished and now children are being fed. See photo.
Also at St Bernard’s, Keith gave the school a number of small solar lights. Many children live in places where there is no electricity and where families might share one candle or kerosene lamp. It gets dark early evening all year round so after getting home and doing their chores, many older children struggle to do their homework. This trial will tell SSP whether we should invest in more solar lights. See photo.
