MTENDE COMMUNITY PROJECT: As we continue to support Mtende, previously in the reforestation project, a new project has emerged in providing toilets for a school of 500 pupils. Currently they only have two inadequate latrines. Any monies given from now on will go towards their target of £3,500 for new and more adequate facilities. They are applying for a grant of £2,000 leaving a £1,500 balance to raise. Our small change can make a big change!
