Christina flying out in December

Development projects due to start very soon! Thank you to everyone who has donated for helping to start the projects. Christina will work with local communities to provide adult literacy and more.

We're starting out first year projects. We plan to deliver two programmes of projects over the next few years:

Schools Programme
  • English for Children
  • Schools Link
  • After-School Study Sessions
  • Nursery Sessions
  • School Books, Furniture and Food

Community Programme
  • Adult Literacy
  • Library and Internet
  • Co-operatives
  • Community Savings Schemes
  • Vocational training
  • Adult Numeracy
We're starting with English for children, adult literacy and planning the agricultural co-operatives in this first year. However, as we believe our priorities should be driven by local communities, our plans may change in response to local needs. Our plans need to remain flexible to accommodate the real needs as they change.

Christina will be posting blogs here as often as she can, from Abene, Albadar and Diannah villages.

Thank you again to all those who have helped make this possible by donating. It's still not to late to donate. Your support really is vital to making a sustained difference in Abene. Click here to find out more.
