Ward Hadaway Saves Mshangano Secondary!

Mshangano Secondary was saved from closure last month, thanks to the fantastic team runners at Ward Hadaway who raised funds in the their 3 Points North challenge.

Mshangano Secondary is one of our newest partner Schools for Life. The school was struggling and turned to Hoja Project and COCO for support. From being outside the top 100 schools in the region, it is now in the top 10!

However, the infrastructure at the school was severely lacking. The government decided that the school could not remain open with the buildings in the state that they were in, and threatened closure if they were not improved by the end of the year.

And that's not all! The government are so impressed with the effort that has been put in to the renovation that they have invested in the school themselves too, bringing mains water and electricity to the site, and buying football and netball goals for their sports field, saving the school thousands of pounds sourcing these themselves.

We're excited to see how Mshangano develops in the future, we're sure that the students there will soon be giving Hoja Secondary some strong competition for top spot in the region. Thank you Ward Hadaway for making this happen, your support will benefit hundreds of Mshangano students in the coming years!

If you or your company would like to fundraise for COCO, please email paul@coco.org.uk to find out how you could get involved.
