With continual news on the launch\u00a0of\u00a0The Butterfly Tree’s malaria prevention<\/strong><\/a> project in Zambia I would like to reassure our donors and supporters that we have not neglected our grass root projects. These are so vital to the development of any community\u00a0whether it be for health or education.<\/p>\n

THOUSANDS OF RURAL CHILDREN ARE RECEIVING A BASIC EDUCATION<\/p><\/div>\n

The most essential\u00a0of all our projects is to provide safe clean water<\/strong><\/a>. This\u00a0year the Southern areas of Zambia have experienced a poor rainy season. Reports are coming in of streams and rivers that would normally be full having very little water, and maize crops have perished. Adding a bore hole to a school or community helps to reduce diarrhoeal diseases and\u00a0provides water to irrigate vegetables – one is shortly to be installed at Bunsanga, thanks to joint\u00a0funding from the Cayman Islands Rotary Club, the Parishes of Abbots Wood and Leigh Woods and Nick Bousliman.<\/p>\n

Several\u00a0educational advancements are being made – a 1×2 classroom block and latrines is almost complete at N’dele Primary School using further grant aid from the British and Foreign School Society<\/a>. N’gandu School is undergoing extensive expansion through JOAC’s Community Works Projects<\/a>. Muchambile is to receive a boost from private donors who have ‘adopted’ the school and village, adding a much needed clinic. Kasiya Community School has new latrines thanks to Robert & Cindy Orr.<\/p>\n

On health matters funding is now in place to build a women’s shelter for the\u00a0Singwamba community. Currently women are sleeping in the open when they come to the clinic prior to delivery.\u00a0The Besom<\/a>\u00a0has once again supported our work, along with Hannah Leon who took part in the Tough Mudder<\/a>\u00a0competition, and Ursula Reinheimer who raised money making cards and jewellery.<\/p>\n

Both our\u00a0malaria prevention<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0project and\u00a0HIV prevention<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0through peer education are advancing, invaluable for future development of these rural communities who desperately need your support.<\/p>\n
