African Village School Fund Revisited (Swaziland) 2010



Despite time constraints and some treacherous rain, our Swaziland project is nearing completion. This grassroots project which is tailored around the needs of the local population will run a school meals programme 365 days a year alongside emergency accommodation for orphaned children. The project will also have a maize field and livestock to cut down on food costs. The ALMT previously paid for the school building but as it is expanding its services to provide an essential meals and accomodation programme the trust made a £21,000 donation to support the £30,000 project.   

Project co-ordinator Lyn Nestor arrived back from a whirlwind trip to Swaziland yesterday and thanked the ALMT for its support. In just three weeks, using volunteers from the local villages, they built the pre school building, foundations for the main building, the toilet blocks, a new maize field which is ready to be planted and a new pig breeding programme.

Mothers from the local community are already preparing meals at the site for between 50-100 children daily. Lyn Nestor made personal visits to the homes of school pupils and she has also begun forging links with international NGOs working in the area.

The trust is committed to working in partnership with this project because it is sustainable in the way it uses local volunteers, staff and in its food production.  The school which already provides education to local children will now offer meals and emergency accommodation for children ‘at risk’ of starvation.
