Building Speakman Pre-School
We’ve Funded: £42,000
Where: South Africa
Thanks to a generous donation from Mr Ron Small and the Save a Child Foundation, Helping Rhinos was able to build a new pre-school facility, the Speakman Pre-School, on the borders of the Zululand Rhino Stronghold.
The pre-school will provide early year’s education to hundreds of children aged between 2 and 6 years. Without this facility the children of this community would not receive any early education at all as the closest facility is too far away.
The school was built by members of the local community, giving employment at a time of rising unemployment due to the impact of COVID on eco-tourism. The school also employs a teacher and cook from the local community and provides a nourishing meal to the children who attend class.
