Educational Support for Vulnerable Children in Bulawayo
The project supports for 237 children living in squatter communities in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe by providing furniture, learning materials, uniforms and the construction of toilet facilities at the Mguza SDA Primary school.
As well as funding these basic facilities, WJR supports the promotion of education within the community through livelihood skills training for parents of some of the school’s most vulnerable pupils, primarily single mothers.
