A new semester has seen clean hands! We have now completed a WASH station and pupils have had training on how to wash their hands. This will help sanitation and provide valuable drinking water during many days of hot weather in the dry season.

Great news: we have now built a new school which is fit for purpose for 227 pupils at Gendit School. However, sadly, and through no fault of their own, there are some children who are in danger of dropping out of school because their families are so desperately poor.

In Ethiopia, pupils returned to school in November. Pupils are wearing masks and class sizes have been reduced where possible.

On Tuesday, December 18th we finally opened the first phase of our school - the first four classrooms and the loos! Kit bags of resources were carried in by truck - the 40km journey from the nearest main town. The UK flag was raised above the heads of 212 pupils wearing their smart new red and black uniforms.
