Clean Water Tank Installation at Our School
Clean water is one of the few things in life that never fails to live up to expectations. It is difficult to overstate the importance of having it and it’s probably impossible. Clean water changes almost everything. This is why access to and management of clean water is very important. Sometimes we find ourselves struggling to get water as the community of Alicedale is facing serious issues with the shortage of water.
That is why the Sifunda kunye water sanitation project has helped us very much. They installed more than 5 JOJO tanks at the school.
Words cannot express how grateful the school is to Sifunda kunye.
Sanitary Towel Donation
Nelson Mandela International Day is an annual international day in honour of Nelson Mandela, celebrated each year on 18 July, which when he was born. The Shamwari group decided to play their part by donating Sanitary towels to the girls of our school as part of celebrating the Madiba Month. On behalf of all the girls, the school would like to extend their gratitude to The Shamwari group for such an amazing gesture as we have been working very close with Shamwari for quite some time now. We all know the struggle of missing school every month because of not being able to afford sanitary towels. Thank you so much to the Shamwari group.

The girls had an excursion to Port Elizabeth. The planning for the trip was very chellenging as the girls tried so hard to raise funds so that they can be able to have this trip.
