 DONATE FOR TUITION FOR PREGNANT YOUNG WOMEN 
Fundraising Goal:    $2,450
Amount Raised So Far:   $0
​


When the school closed for several months last year due to COVID,
students returned home. 

Five young women, in the last year of their programs, became pregnant and are hoping to finish their studies although they have no funds. School administrators are supportive and would like to enable these young women to finish their educations to better support their families.

Help us provide the last two terms of tuition, fees and equipment and 
enable these five young women to finish their vocational programs.

​DONATE FOR SICK BAY RENOVATION

Fundraising Goal:    $1,100
Amount Raised So Far:    $0


Most students board full-time at the school,
and the sickbay provides needed medical care. 

However, the challenge is that the sickbay roof is currently
leaking a lot in the rain ... into the sick bay!! 

Thus, the roof and timbers need  immediate repair!!  

In addition, two side  walls have large cracks which need
​structural repairs  requiring additional beams to secure the walls.
