Why support Friends of Pakati..?

Why indeed? Here is why I think it’s a great idea…both Pakati schools do their best to provide a good education to their students, but are often hampered by circumstances beyond their control. We want to help them improve what they can do, in terms of basic facilities that we take for granted here in the UK.

Our Vision (full details here: https://friendsofpakati.com/2020-vision-friends-of-pakati-the-project-continues/ ) explains our main aims, but briefly they are:

1. To help provide items such as IT equipment, internet access and other materials as required by both Pakati schools

2. Should funds permit, extending those in 1. to the three other named schools in the Ward

3. Should funds permit, provide scholarships to those deemed most in need

4. To help in other ways as deemed relevant/necessary
