New School Build
How Much: £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 children aged between 2 and 6 years. Without this facility the children of this community would not receive an 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 opening ceremony was attended by the local King, Nkosi Zuma and local Ndunas (Chiefs),who all gave speeches to mark the opening of the Speakman School.
