Hello To Supporters and Fundraisers of Marula School all around the world,
School is going really well, we are at capacity and recently we won a local music competition and as such the children and staff are all on a big high! Our new head of the school has some amazing ideas to help the school move towards becoming financially sustainable however we have a lot of fundraising to do before we can start these ife changing program.
On September 2nd, we face a critical shortfall in our feeding program for the final term of 2025. The total expenses amount to $3,201.54, covering the wages for our two dedicated cooks and the procurement of food supplies. However, our current funds stand at only $231.76. As a valued past donor, you're aware of the profound impact our program has on the children we serve. We urgently seek your support to bridge this gap and ensure the continuation of our vital work as we are not sure where else we can turn with such short notice, sadly we have lost a local business donation as their business has been forced to close in the current climate. It was so unexpected for us.
Our school in Marula, Zimbabwe, serves as a beacon of hope for now over 250 day scholars. For many of these children, the meal provided at school is their only source of nutrition for the day. One such student walks over an hour each way to attend school, relying solely on our feeding program for sustenance. In addition to daily lunches, we provide weekend food packs and fresh fruit to ensure the children's nutritional needs are met throughout the week.
Every contribution, regardless of size, directly supports the children and helps us reach our goal. We have been beside these children every day because of donors like you and we really do value your commitment and support and we don't take it easy having to write this report.
A Heartfelt Thank You
