FRIENDS OF MUTALE A Partnership of Education and Fun

Friends of Mutale understands that a good education needs to begin from an early age. To this end we have been involved in after-school clubs, in which students from the primary school are encouraged to attend to enjoy educational games (English, maths, geography), use the library and then, for an hour afterwards, play in a safe environment. In addition to this, Friends of Mutale is helping the crèches of the region, who receive limited support from the local government. A mobile toy library has been created; armed with educational toys, we travel to crèches and spend up to two hours, playing with the children and assisting the educators. The after-school programme serves on average 40 students a day and the crèches that the mobile toy library visits have enrollments of 130 toddlers.

Volunteers have formed an integral role in fulfilling the goals of Friends of Mutale, assisting in the crèche, local primary school and after-school programme. For those who wish to experience the joys and satisfaction of volunteering, please visit Venda Volunteering.

Friends of Mutale’s efforts have been made possible by the kindness of charity from across the world: Denmark, United Kingdom, USA, South Africa, Holland, France and Cuba.
