Swaziland project is nearing completion
Work has finished on the ALMT pre-school and the feeding programme is up and running in Swaziland. Maize is being harvested and the pigs are breeding to ensure that children in the surrounding community can be fed 365 days a year.
Currently between 50 - 100 children visit the onsite project and further children are fed through an outreach service which provides food to a homestead where orphans are cared for. Project manager Senzo is making regular visits to the pupils’ homes to ensure the standard of care is being met and kinship carers, who have a duty of care for the children are in regular contact with the school. Additional local support has been mustered for the project with two separate donations to the feeding programme and tables and chairs for the pre-school. The ALMT’s grant of £21,000 paid for the building of the pre-school, emergency accommodation, a maize field, toilet blocks.
Founder Lyn Nestor said: “I am particularly excited by these developments since, up until this point, donations have primarily come from non-Swazi's but bit by bit the community is assuming more ownership of the project which is obviously where we want to be with it.”Part of the ALMT grant is being used to pay for an essential emergency accommodation for the pupils as part of an intervention plan for children ‘at risk’ during the school holidays. A house mother will be permanently based at the accommodation and will provide pastoral care to the children when needed.
