TARGET REACHED
Village Africa raised £9000 to provide 450 desks for primary schools.
There was a severe shortage of desks in the primary schools and many children sat on the floor which can be dusty or muddy depending on the weather. This led to poor concentration and bad handwriting.
Village Africa provided desks to Milingano Primary School, Kweulasi Primary School and Kwembalazi Primary School.
The desks were made by local carpenters in Tanzania, thus providing much needed employment.
For every desk, Village Africa planted one timber tree and one cash crop (eg cloves).
Groups who donated one desk or more have been listed on our website and have received a certificate of thanks.
Village Africa has a good track record of working with schools in the area. It has provided classrooms, school toilets, school stationery, sports equipment and teaching volunteers.
Update – Since we started in 2006, Village Africa has now made a total of 700 desks for primary schools (Yamba, Milingano, Kweulasi and Kwembalazi).
