The
Tongabezi Trust School was set up by Vanessa Parker, who was
previously teaching as a volunteer in Livingstone. Vanessa is the
wife of Ben, who established Tongabezi in 1990 together with the
late William Ruck-Keene.
The
school opened on 1 May 1996 and due to its huge success it has been
growing ever since. Vanessa donates her time to the school on a
purely voluntary basis. The school provides education to the
Tongabezi staff children, as well as children from the local
community, in an area where educational funding and materials are
scarce.
We
have grown from a pre-school class with 15 children into a primary
school with 116 children. There are currently five classrooms an
adjoining office/library, a computer room , a library and a storeroom
. Tongabezi built the first classroom, the second classroom was
funded purely by donations, the third classroom was funded by a team
who completed the Three Peaks Challenge in the UK , and the fourth
and fifth were funded by The Anthony Robbins foundation.
