Adopt a School

The concept of making school a better place than home is an incredibly easy thing to do. With this there will be a natural migration to school with attendance increasing and more children potentially realizing their short term dreams and finishing Grade 1.

The simple ways of Making School a Better place than home are:

1. Providing Electricity – Access to Educational TV , Warmth
2. Providing comfortable Infrastructure- Desks , Chairs
3. Providing decent ablutions – Home does not have running water
4. Providing Sporting Facilities – This makes School a cool place to hang around
5. Container Kitchens and Vegetable Gardens – They have to be self sufficient and this has been very successful in our Storms River Project

Adopting a school is all about taking ownership and focusing on changing lives. Its measurable and sustainable

The Storms River School is in need of a Grade R Class as well as a Day Care Facility which will also require the provision of additional ablution facilities. This project has been adopted by WRN (World Relief Now) thanks to the tireless work of Mr Steve Huff.

The monies raised will ensure the construction of ablution facilities as well as a Grade R and Creche facilities.

We are now looking for donors to adopt the school to provide equipment and furnishings. Please click on the Get Involved button to make your pledge.

The Koukamma Municipality has given permission to the CDM to develop the land for further educational requirements.

Touch Africa now aim to provide the facilities required, which includes an ablution block and three structures to house the Grade R class as well as the Creche, which at present is being run outside the school by a local mother, who is working in desperate conditions at her home, in order to education these pre-schoolers. The project will also provide educational equipment.

We have various schools on our books who are desperately in need of assistance for rehabilitation. If you would like to get involved in “adopting a school” please contact Elise Fish by emailing elise@touchafrica.info or call 076 170 6449.
