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.
