 The project we initially designed aimed to ensure 812 households across 10 villages had access to tip-taps, soap and information on the virus and hand-washing best practice. As you can see from the graphic above, thanks to your unbelievable generosity we were able to absolutely obliterate these targets. Our emergency project has reached nearly 1,500 households across 30 villages and we were able to offer further support to places of worship, carers and cemetery workers. Local MP Grace Kwelepeta who is also Deputy Minister of Gender, Child Development and Community Development praised the work of Community Highlight and supported our campaign by donating extra resources. The NGO AYIDO assisted us with the distribution of materials. The next stage of our programme is the distribution of masks, and more soap. We've launched a second fundraiser which is gathering momentum each day, thanks to you. Thank you so much for your overwhelming generosity, your empathy and your continued support. You really are an amazing human beings, and we feel lucky to know you.

10/21/2020 1 Comment Official Update - October 2019 Community Highlight has recently gone through a few changes. We wanted to share these with you to ensure that everyone in Team CH feels they are in the loop..
We are excited to let you all know that we have started working with two new schools - Malenga and Liwunga. The community members in Malenga and Liwunga have built the schools themselves - we will be providing teachers, school materials and school meals through our feeding programme. While we are disappointed to not be supporting families in Namalaka and Hayo anymore we are proud that we have shown the community members that they can sustainably run successful education projects without our financial assistance. For clarity, here is a complete list of all the villages we are now working in: (1) Nsangeni (2) Chinyangala (3) Jira (4) Saidi (5) Liwunga (6) Chimwanza (7) Malenga (8) Dagalasi (9) Nkula (10) Ntanga We continue to support our schools in Nsangeni and Chinyangala and all villages continue to be within the Domasi region catchment area. A HUGE zikomo to everyone who has engaged with and been directly involved with the schools, the projects and the work in Namalaka and Hayo since 2014. Together we have achieved some truly wonderful things. I'll be in touch soon, but until then, take it easy. Evie, UK Manager |
