Current Projects
Mawuvio's Outreach Programme is currently building a 6 classroom 2 dormitory structure that is the future of our organization. Upon completion, we will have the capacity to provide education to approximately 200 children and housing for 80 orphaned boys and girls.
Total Project Cost: 50,000 USD
Total Amount Raised: 23,000 USD
Schools Programme: Students aged 3-17 are currently attending classes inside a small housing compound in Kissemah Village. In this one-room school setting students learn to speak, read and write english, mathematics, social studies and sciences.
Inter- Cultural Exchanges: Students learn traditional songs, dances and instruments in their culture while also being exposed to other cultures by participating in festivals and ceremonies thus spreading local culture and expanding our students knowledge about the world around them.
Mentoring Programmes: Volunteer mentors spend one-on-one time with a student who is in need of additional support and care. For a few hours each week the mentor will meet with a child in need, simply by talking to them, assiting them with school work, providing them with a decent meal and nuturing them so that they can grow to acheive their upmost potential.
After School Beading Programme: Students meet two times a week where they learn the cultural art of bead making. Students and staff turn recycled glass beads into colorful bracelets which are sold to generate funding for the building project.
