Bwengu Projects Update
Over the summer holidays we received news from Bwengu Projects Malawi on how the money raised by Crescent School was being spent.
Last school year, Year 4 chose to fund raise for the much-needed refurbishment of Namatubi School in Chitipa, in the most northern part of Malawi. The project included eight classrooms used by 857 5 to 14-year-olds. The Year 4 children worked incredibly hard organising lots of events and smashed their fundraising target raising a huge total of £2,011.
Work on the eight classrooms was well underway with the outside walls, drains and steps finished and windows and doors installed. The charity shared these photos of the work taking place.
As well as repairing the classrooms, the £2,011 raised by the children will also be funding the purchase of benches that will allow 250 children to sit in their classrooms for the very first time.
A really big thank to everyone who supported Year 4’s incredible fundraising efforts this year.
