Story
Love The Oceans is a Non-Profit Marine Conservation Organisation working in Guinjata, Mozambique (lovetheoceans.org).
Our volunteers this year have been busy making much needed changes and teaching at Paindane School and Guinjata School.
Having recently assessed the situation at the schools, we need to raise some urgent funds to make some of the changes we see as essential.
Guinjata School has approximately 600 students with 5 classrooms whilst Paindane School has over 900 students with 8 classrooms. Only 3 of these classrooms have desks, most have huge holes in the floor that need to be filled for the childrens' safety and a few new classrooms need to be built - they currently are made out of falling down stone and palm leaf.
Having spoken with the Principles at both schools and got a quote from the local builders (we prefer to source work locally, therefore putting money back into the local economy) we now have a list of priorities we want to fulfil. They are as follows:
New classroom at Guinjata School - £1100
Plastering at Paindane School - £500
New classrooms at Paindane School - £500
Paint, hole filler, varnish - £500
As many desks as possible! - £200
The 'target' of this fundraiser is £500 simply because JustGiving takes commission if you don't meet your goal but we want to exceed this target as much as possible! To give you an idea of what your money can buy these children:
A desk to seat 3 children (classes of 50) - £55
20L bucket of white paint (covers one classroom) - £25
Sheet of metal (roofing) - £5
Cement Bag - £4 (need approx. 20 to lay a floor/plaster a wall)
Colour tint for paint - £4
As little or as much as you can give will be very much appreciated! If you think you'll be charged international transaction fees, you can also donate through PayPal on our website: https://lovetheoceans.org/want-to-help/donate/
