David
came to us a couple of years ago wanting to find an existing UK charity he
could merge with as he was approaching retirement and wanted the Bwiam
project to continue even if he didn’t. He has around 100 sponsors
and with the money raised from their standing orders David pays money
annually to around 100 Bwiam families to help with their schooling costs,
this uses about 50% of the money, the rest he uses to fund different
specific projects.
He
has fenced a large ‘womens garden' and built wells and shelters inside
it. He built a small marketing area in the enclosure at Bwiam where
the schools exist and this is used by the local ladies to sell food for
lunch to the children from all the schools in Bwiam. His latest
project is to refurbish the desks at the primary school for children from
7 to 12. They need about 250 desks in total. 60 have been repaired,
there are 57 new desks and as funding becomes available the other desks
needed will be made and delivered.
