Funding from Meeting Needs has enabled the completion of two new
classrooms for 60 children and accommodation for five teachers at a primary
school in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.
The completion of the Break Primary School Classroom Block
Project was a collaborative effort between Meeting Needs, Jafuta Foundation and
Break Fast Community.
Sipho Moyo, Jafuta´s community outreach rirector, said: “On
behalf of Break Fast Primary School and the entire community, we extend our
deepest gratitude to Meeting Needs for your unwavering support and generosity.
Your funding has not only addressed immediate infrastructure needs but has also
laid the foundation for sustained educational excellence and community
development.”
Meeting Needs donated US$6,000 which not only completed the
classrooms with doors, windows and flooring, but also provided showers and
toilets for teachers and electrification for their accommodation. The local
community also contributed materials such as bricks, river sand, pit sand and
quarry stones. The community also sourced the paint and painted the classroom
block to keep costs down.
Meeting Needs trustee Dave Dodgeon played a key role in
selecting the project for funding. He said: “Having visited and spent time with
the project team, it is particularly gratifying to see it reach completion,
especially as such a lot has been achieved with so little money.”
