St David's School Project

St David’s School project is one of Vana Trust projects:

The story so far …Vana Trust was registered as a charity in July 2004 for the relief of poverty, sickness and distress, the advancement of education and the preservation and protection of good health of children and young people in Africa and UK.

This started with a pilot scheme in a Zimbabwe village school called St David’s School - Nyandoro. The head teacher helped us identify a group of 60 children who were not able to fund costs of attending school such as the school buildings fund and uniforms. These children were either orphans or their parents were affected by HIV/AIDS and were not able to pay the school. Due to the success of this pilot we want to consolidate this project by making a long term commitment to these children and continue our links with the local teachers and Red Cross volunteers.

With this pilot now moving into phase two we are developing a plan to expand our fund raising to enable us to fund/sponsor more children in more schools in Southern Africa.
