Chankhokwe F.P. School
A school building at Chankhokwe F.P. School was badly damaged in a storm and the roof blown off. The school lacked the funds to repair the building and The Tongole Foundation were able to donate nails and door locks so that the school could complete their repairs and secure the premises.
Roofing nails: 5" - 6" nails and door locks were donated to Chankhokwe F.P. School to secure damaged school buildings.

With the poor condition of the local roads, teachers often have great difficulty in getting to school on time. In the rainy season when roads are washed away, they may not be able to make it at all. Class sizes regularly exceed 70 pupils. If one teacher is either late or cannot attend school, this puts a huge strain on the other teaching staff and ultimately the education of the children suffers. Following repairs to the roof of the staff accommodation teachers have been able to remain on site overnight when the need has arisen.
We were also able to repair the damaged staff rooms. This has allowed the teachers to utilize the rooms to a greater degree, providing much needed space for the marking of pupils work and general administration.
On the 27th January 2013, we officially opened our fist Classroom block consisting of 2 Classrooms and a Head teacher’s office:
Supporting primary education
Sponsorship of secondary school students
