The African Bush Camp (ABC) Foundation is using this GlobalGivng Accelerator<\/a> to fund raise in order to support Early Childhood Development (ECD) facilities at Main Camp Primary School, Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

The Challenge<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

The ECD classes at Main Camp Primary, inside Hwange National Park, currently share a single communally used squat toilet with no hand-washing facilities. The risk of contracting cholera or typhoid is high in this area. Unsanitary ablutions thereby pose a serious threat to children as they are highly-susceptible and their long-term development can be negatively affected. The ECD classroom and play area is also unfenced and children are at risk from free-roaming wild animals in the park.<\/p>\n

\"Travelstart<\/a><\/p>\n

The Solution<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

ABCF will build age-appropriate ablutions for the ECD classes with running water to improve sanitation and hygiene, reducing the risk of contracting dangerous illnesses associated with poor hygiene. ABCF will also construct a fence around the classrooms, play area and ablutions, keeping the children safe from wild animals. Improvements to the ECD classrooms; plastering & painting work, will also be done to make the learning area more appealing, creating a safe and conducive learning environment.<\/p>\n

Long-term Impact<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The long-term impact of this project is creating a safe environment for young children starting their education journey and increasing ECD enrolment rates because parents will no-longer want keep their children home for fear of their safety. ECD is linked to improved performance in school and beyond, and is therefore the first step in improving long-term economic development and breaking the cycle of poverty.<\/p>\n

ABC Foundation aims to raise a minimum of US5 000. The deadline is 27 September, 2019. Visit GlobalGivng Accelerator<\/a> and support.<\/p>\n

Hwange Main Camp is situated at the main entrance in the southern part of Zimbabwe\u2019s Hwange National Park. The community here consists mainly of National Parks employees and their families in a predominantly communal setting. Hwange Main Camp Primary School serves this community of roughly 170 households.<\/p>\n

The ABC Foundation identifies needs, skills and resources within communities and forges meaningful partnerships amongst the stakeholders, creating opportunities to empower the communities and their members to become self-sustaining and independent, whilst also promoting conservation and community spirit.<\/p><\/div>\n
