Tailoring Students
Vocational training is well underway at NVSS, thanks to YOU! One of two workshops on campus is complete and the first group of students now have their own space for vocational training. There are a total of 16 first year vocational students at NVSS. This pioneer vocational class is made up of 9 males and 7 females. Students can choose to take vocational courses in Tailoring & Cutting Garments or Brick/Block Laying & Concrete Practice.
Your students have been busy learning their chosen trades. Besides taking their vocational courses, students also study math, English, and computer training. When funds are available to begin the second workshop, it will house the Mechanical and Metal vocations. YOU can help complete NVSS and make additional vocational training possible by making a donation today!
MORE BIG NEWS- August 2, 2016 marked the 15th anniversary of The Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project. Thank YOU for making this milestone possible! YOUR generous love and support has TRANSFORMED LIVES!
YOU have made Nyaka 15 years strong!

The computer lab and boys dorm at NVSS are lit up!

There is even more solar energy at Nyaka Vocational Secondary School (NVSS) than ever before! Six solar panels were installed amongst the roofs of the boy’s dormitory and the computer lab. This additional energy resource is invaluable. Do you ever leave a room and forget to turn off the light? Or fall asleep with the TV on? Many of us are guilty of taking electricity, and especially light, for granted. Imagine how thrilled the boys are now that they have light in their dorm at night and how excited all of the students, and teachers, are to have consistent power in the computer lab!
Other buildings on campus already utilize solar energy but since the boys dorm and computer lab are new, they have been relying on hydroelectricity and often experience many power interruptions. These power interruptions make it difficult for the boys to study at night and make computer access unreliable for all of the students at teachers at NVSS. The solar energy for the boy’s dorm is stored during the day and used at night. The boys can now continue to study even when it gets dark outside. It also allows them to concentrate better because they don’t have to worry about losing power and being stuck in the darkness while they are trying to read or finish an assignment. Everyone at NVSS is also very grateful for having computers that they can use more often.
NVSS is lit up more than ever before. Thank you so much! But wait, there’s still more to be done. Can you help complete NVSS? By doing so, you will be providing a school where poverty stricken, HIV/AIDS orphans transform into successful, educated leaders of tomorrow!

Students in the new computer lab
YOU have made their computer lab possible!
The computer lab at Nyaka Vocational Secondary School (NVSS) is now 100% complete thanks to you!
This amazing lab will increase learning opportunities by helping students become computer literate and will also give them access to the world that they never thought would be possible. Your students will now be able to compete better with other students for placements in higher institutions of learning. Computer literacy will also increase the career opportunities that will be available to them after school.
Teachers and students have been provided training on all of the new computer equipment and were eager to begin utilizing the awesome new lab! This modern computer lab sets the pace for NVSS to become the central hub for STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) in the community. YOU have made that happen!
Thank you for giving your students access to the world and creating even MORE opportunities than they ever thought possible!
