Children of Choba

RC of Bradford on Avon Are delighted to support local charity worker Valerie McGivern and the Children of Choba in Tanzania.  The Club received an urgent request from the charity for help to improve their waste water management and wash facilities for female students. The current waste management system requirement had exceeded current capacity and presented a health risk.  The Club was happy to be in a position to respond to the charity's request and was able to meet this request.
