A huge thank you to our supporters for your ongoing generosity that has enabled the completion of the boys' dormitory, teachers’ quarters and laid the foundations of the girls' dormitory at St Theresa’s school.
We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Christine Nyiraziraje, the Headteacher of St Theresa’s. Christine would like us to convey her gratitude for your support in completing these much-needed works.
Due to the COVID pandemic the school was temporarily closed for 7 months and is due to reopen on 15th October for a staggered return to the classroom. The school has set up sanitization stations and will be following strict guidelines to protect the children and staff.
With the school closed for so long, staff have been left without wages and facing the prospect of homelessness. GETA has provided funds to support the school and staff to return to work. However, this is a short-term solution, and we are dependent on your continuing generosity to provide ongoing funding to support keeping the school open.
