One of our partner organisations, the Fundanami Trust has been able to complete the work begun by the Lower Tugela Primary School to furnish their new computer room. Computers donated by one of our business donors, Timberland, have made their way to the Tugela River in KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa.
Half the population of KwaZulu–Natal is below the poverty line. The students are mainly Zulu with about 25% Indian intake. In addition, approximately 70% of the children are provided with a midday meal funded by a government scheme. The principal of Lower Tugela Primary School, Hans Tulsee, recognised the importance of ICT education and as a result launched a computer room last year through local fundraising efforts. The room was be officially opened on 30th Jan 2010.
