Direct Beneficiaries:

• Primary School Children from the ages of 5-13 years in Epworth. 60% of the children are orphans.

Indirect Beneficiaries:

• Project 25. The pioneers of the project.

Sustainability:

• As a club we’ve realised that if not all club projects involve once off visits and that will be all. We would like to ensure that the school kids have a place to learn that is safe, especially during the winter term. It will also mean the school will be able to admit more children as they mostly cater for orphans within the area.

Partners:

• The project is being funded by the club’s fundraiser which is Trivia hosted every Tuesday at the Q-bar in Harare. We also have sponsors that assist, which are Kalose perfumes and Dandy Graphics.

Budget:

• The project is finish up the roofing on the first block which totals to an amount of $2000 (USD). The finishing of the first has an estimated budget of about $5000 (USD). The Trivia fundraiser will also be complemented by donations from well-wishers because we want to ensure that the children learn in a safe environment.
