Meet the children at St David's in Nyandoro

This photo, and the one in the banner at the top of the page, was taken last summer.  (Click to enlarge.) Pictured are just a handful of the 60 children the Vana Trust currently sponsors at St David’s School in Nyandoro, Zimbabwe  - the very same village school which our Founding Director's mother attended as a child.

Schooling in Africa is not a state-funded 'right' as it is here in the UK.  Each child must pay fees. The fees are essential to pay for the upkeep of the school buildings, to provide materials - like books, pencils and paper and to pay for uniforms.  These 60 children - identified by Vana Trust with the head teacher's help - are all either already orphaned, or their parents are so sick with HIV/AIDS that they are unable to work and pay for their children's education. In many cases, the children are also the parents' primary carers.

A year's schooling costs just ten UK pounds - that's less than an American Hot and a glass of 'house red' at your local Pizza Express.  If you'd like to give more children the 'gift' of education, and make a huge difference to their lives - click here now.
