“One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.”
- Malala Yousafzal
The Tongabezi Trust School, our sister project, was born in 1996 from a desire to provide underprivileged children from Simonga with a sound and holistic education in a bid to improve the quality of their lives.
Their vision is to develop the child as a whole and help them gain greater knowledge and understanding of educational and social issues, so they are able to make informed choices and have the chance of bright, promising futures.

At present, all the sewing machines in use have been donated to us by Workaid.
