The donation was made through the German Embassy’s micro-project fund and is intended to ease lesson preparation for the staff and to facilitate the general school processes.
So far, the school has been able to use the funds to procure learning materials such as textbooks and a printer.

According to the embassy, the school, which is located in the heart of the Kavango-Zambezi Trans-frontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA), aims to teach the learners to relate to nature in a more constructive way. For this reason, the embassy added, the school makes use of both a traditional curriculum as well as an outdoor educational model.
The embassy shared that the outdoor educational model allows children to visit their environment on a regular basis to acquire social and technical skills through a hands-on approach in nature.
“It allows them to learn to respect nature and the environment from an early age and to unlock the possibilities for a sustainable development of the resources offered by the surroundings,” the embassy added.
