Who are the girls who need your help?
Girls from the community of Ilongerowho have been selected for entry intoIlongeroSecondary School but whosefamily cannot afford the fees andassociated costs.Girls at present studying but who are indanger of giving up due to changes intheir financial circumstances.Girls who are committed but notperforming to their best because they livetoo far, wasting their time walking up to10kms and whose parents cannot afford aplace at the hostel or in close byaccommodation.We do not have a “pool”of girls tosponsor as circumstances change all thetime. We rely on the school board and inparticular Ms Matunda, a teacher at theschool to select the most deserving girl atthe time of your commitment.The selection is discreet to avoidcompetition and students are asked not tobroadcast their luck.
Ms Matunda, a guardian angel
Ms Matunda, the only female teacher at the school has beensponsoring girls and boys herself for many years. She providesaccommodation and pays the fees of 3 students (boys and girls)every year. She has had the great satisfaction of seeing a fewgoing on to Universities. She knows how important education is forany child, his family, his community. She is a most trusted andloved teacher and member of the community.
