All building renovations are now complete making things more functional. The vegetable garden is flourishing and an irrigation system installed.

Due to COVID, rezoning is still pending.

Thankfully, no one has contracted COVID.  With the schools closed, the children are able to play indoors and outdoors and they are doing well.

The installation of a solar system is pending.

Our new chairperson Ntime Kekana is doing well and will take over when Hilda retires.

Thank you to everyone who helped us get through the year with their donations and gifts and thank you to the staff and board members.

Despite the pandemic, the children are safe, doing well and they are happy. All measures are in place to ensure we do the right thing during this time.

Paperwork for rezoning has been submitted.

With the increase in electricity tariffs and supply being unstable, we have decided to install a solar system.

The lockdown has slowed things down but we remain optimistic.

While we are waiting for vaccines, we are being cautious by wearing masks, sanitizing and social distancing.

Thank you to everyone for helping keep a safe environment and in doing their part during this difficult time.

Wishing you happiness and peace

Dear Friends,

You have transformed the empty lives of these broken children into a meaningful life.

This past year we have developed the hairstyling classroom, provided the children with sports clothing, shoes, traditional clothing for cultural activities, sports equipment, a jungle gym, gardening skills training equipment and 2 laptops for the teaching staff.

Thank you again for your donation.

Wishing you happiness and peace.

Dr Hussain, all the children and the Board of the Kungwini Dream Fund.
