 | Mkasanga Village Community Supported by Remote Africa Safaris | |
Remote Africa Safaris works closely with the local village community to improve their educational and medical facilities.
Donations from our guests and tour operators have resulted in the formation of The TAFIKA FUND which has assisted The Mkasanga School in various ways:
- Payment of 4 teachers’ salaries and the supply of monthly meilie meal for the teachers
- Addition of 2 high school grades to the original primary school
- 5 sewing machines and needlework materials
- Over 2500 children’s library books and readers
- School supplies such as paper/pens/pencils/text books and other educational materials such as magnifying glasses, magnets, footballs etc
- Creation of a Conservation Club at the school
- Game drives for pupils and staff
- Borehole and pump for water supplies to the school
- Solar lighting for 2 classrooms for evening homework
- Teachers Training Course to inspire and encourage the teachers
- Renovation and upgrade of the school facilities
There are many students with the dream of finishing High School. If you are interested in sponsoring a child or are in a position to assist the fund in any way, please contact us at tafika@remoteafrica.com
PLEASE DO NOT POST us parcels for the school as this incurs huge duty and tax liabilities which we cannot afford.
However, guests wishing to bring something in their luggage to assist the school might find the following list of suggestions helpful:
- Deflated footballs/netballs
- Educational posters and maps for the classroom walls
- Rain and temperature gauges for recording the weather
- Skipping ropes / Tennis balls / Volleyball net
- Dice and blocks to use in mathematics classes
- Coloured pens, pencils and crayons
- Medical supplies – ointments, eye drops, antibiotics, bandages, plasters etc
