We will to use the intervening period to help the schools to become more self-reliant and sustainable.
As a first step, we are starting to devolve our scholarship programme to schools. Improvements in international money transfer have made this much easier, and we are working to find the best ways to transfer support funds to the schools. It will enable donors to have a closer personal relationship with the schools and children they support. We will circulate details as soon as we have received them from all the schools.
Paying for new buildings is one of the biggest challenges for the schools. In order to operate as registered schools and to meet the expectations of school inspectors they must have adequate facilities for teaching and to ensure the health of children. All schools still lack something and we have drawn up with the schools a priority list of essential infrastructure improvements. The work will cost about £130,000 over the next 4 years.
We intend to work systematically down the list as donations are received. However, if a supporter wishes their donation to be used for a particular priority further down the list then we will ensure that the funds are directed as requested.
