What's happening?
The SSP team in Eswatini found a primary school in a remote area called Lundzi which was in need of a great deal of renovation. A proposal was put to the the who, in turn, successfully applied for a matching grant.
The offered £2k which was doubled to £4k will go towards the projected total costs of c. 322,000 Emalengeni or about £14,000.
The 14 classrooms have tin roofs so it is very cold in winter and hot in summer. When it rains it is hard to hear the teacher. False ceilings and lighting will be installed which make a huge difference to the quality of teaching and learning. There will be repairs to windows, doors and the concrete floors.
The headteachers space is also in need of complete renovation. The school will be painted and finally, solar security lights will be installed outside.
