By Danny Lovey | Project Leader - February 2020 update
Dear GlobalGiving Donors to our project
Firstly, a belated happy and healthy new year to all our donors of the Building Classrooms for Zvamaida Primary School project.
Last month there was a bit of a disaster at the School, when one of the two outside classrooms was blown down in a storm, which as you can imagine is a big blow to those children that were being taught under the protection of it. Of course, it was only held up by wooden stakes with a thatched type roofing, but nevertheless it was serving a purpose; not an ideal one, but that is why this Classroom project is so important.
Funding for the project is coming along, but slowly at the moment. We now have our application submitted to Rotary Foundation for some funding for the project. As you will know we are not only seeking funding from the GlobalGiving platform, but other sources as well, including Rotary clubs in our area and around the world.
Importantly, providing we receive approval for funding from Rotary Foundation, they will also match to 50 percent the amount we have raised so far, and importantly any further funds we raise!
In simplistic terms, and for easy example, if you have donated/or going to donate the equivalent of $100 dollars or pounds, then that is increased by 50 percent by Rotary Foundation to make it $150 dollars/pounds.
The mission of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.
You have already donated and thank you so much for that, and if it is possible for you to do so, then another donation would be greatly appreciated. Don’t forget, you can also make monthly donations automatically when you sign onto the GlobalGiving web page which currently is offering 100 percent matching on your first payment - maximum $200 - subject to the donation running for 4 months
Wishing you well, and very best wishes
Danny
