Annika Children’s Initiatives
2024 Project Summary
A grant of £1000 to support the renovation of a classroom at the Chingoli Primary School that was damaged in 2023 during Cyclone Freddy. The FOMA grant will help with activities such as fixing the roof, walls, floor, doors and windows and also painting the blackboards. The local community will provide river sand, bricks, fetch water and other necessary works throughout the project.
Blessings Mukhumba, Grants Office at Annika reported back once the project was finished saying that the second classroom was handed over to Chingoli primary school and is now being fully used. Over 250 happy and smiling students are using the new classroom and the school is better equipped to offer access to quality education and promote long-life learning. The whole community sent thanks to FOMA and in order to protect the new building from from future storms, each surrounding village has planted 10 trees on the school campus.
