Swaziland
The ALMT has committed £21,000 to the African Village School project in Swaziland which will go towards feeding children who attend the school, even in the holidays. The £21,000 will go towards building a pre school and orphan’s project in Swaziland with a sustianable maize field. As a project which has been previously supported by the ALMT knows the project fits its charitable objectives of grass roots sustianability and allevaiting the suffering of children.
During term time the children are fed on a daily basis but after one 11 year-old- girl Busisiwe died at home, the need for emergency accommodation and a housemother has become urgent. The new building will allow children to visit, play, do their homework and most importantly be fed 365 days a year.
Project Co-ordinator Lynn Nestor said: “She lost both her parents 6 years ago and was being cared for by her elderly grandmother. Tragically Busisiwe's future was destroyed when, during the holidays, she starved to death. We are devastated by this news and now, more than ever, are determined to raise the money needed to ensure none of our children ever find themselves in this horrific situation again."
The ALMT’s grant will pay for the building, a house mother and maize fields which will be used to sustainably feed the school children. The project is also committed to carrying out regular house visits of all the families whose children attend.
The Nestor family went to Swaziland in 2001 as part of a television series and have been raising money for the project ever since. The African Villages School needs another £10,000 for the project and they will be holding a fundraiser next Saturday 27th with a street dance workshop.
