New plastic sheeting provided for Mwalawatongole F.P. School enabling them to repair damaged staff accommodation.

With the poor condition of the local roads, teachers often have great difficulty in getting to school ‘on time’. In the rainy season when roads are washed away, they may not be able to make it at all. Class sizes regularly exceed 70 pupils. If one teacher is either late or cannot attend school, this puts a huge strain on the other teaching staff and ultimately the education of the children suffers. Following repairs to the roof of the staff accommodation teachers have been able to remain on site overnight when the need has arisen.

We were also able to repair the damaged staff rooms. This has allowed the teachers to utilise the rooms to a greater degree, providing much needed space for the marking of pupils work and general administration.
