Every Child Matters

During their recent self financed visit to the CWUHA supported school in Tanzania, Roger Jones and Alex Pearson took the opportunity of asking the owner of the hotel they were staying in for future discounts for CWUHA teaching assistants. One of the receptionists overheard and she gingerly approached them asking if it would be possible for them to help with her son's education. She is a single mother, she did not earn very much so her son had to stay in Arusha 50 miles away with her parents in order to receive very simple schooling.

Roger and Alex asked for the thoughts of Mr Massawe, the Headmaster of the school in Kilima Hewa Moshi, who met with Joyce. He agreed that her son Praise could join his school if he moved back to live with his mother Joyce, in Moshi. This has since happened, now Praise is one of the ten newly sponsored kids for this year.

Now with the help of CWUHA and Mr Massawe, Praise will have a better chance to fulfil his potential and achieve economic well-being. A job well done!

CWUHA Deliver the valuable gift of education to children in Africa

Over a period of seven years CWUHA has progressively provided the funds to build three classrooms at a village school in Kilima Hewa, Moshi, Tanzania. During a visit in December 2012 by Alex Pearson, one of CWUHA’s Project Managers, it was discovered that the third school room was being under utilised. This was because of lack of funds to pay the salary of a third teacher. It also meant that many poor African children would miss out on the vitally needed education that the school could offer. It was decided by the trusteess that funds should be made available to pay the salary of a new teacher £1,000 per year, and sponsor the education of ten extra children at £40 per child, per year. This funding would cover one calendar year and would have to be reviewed in 2014. Thanks to the generousity of the CWU National Executive who made a donation of £1000 and the CWU Race Advisory Committee £500 these costs would be met, without dipping into the meagre CWUHA general fund. The £40 per child would not only pay for their education but would also supply two school uniforms per year, one bowl of porridge a day, and two eggs per week, layed by the CWUHA provided chickens kept warm and fed by the CWUHA provided electricty.
