Teacher Support
We fund the salaries of the dedicated teachers making quality education accessible to many children. We at Teacher Aid believe good and understanding teachers are one of the keys to unlocking the doors of poverty and are passionate about supporting them as they support their students – the ripple effect is huge
Secondary and Primary School
Solar Computer Labs
We have set up a Secondary Solar Powered Computer Lab and a Primary Audio visual room (with thanks for a Wales for Africa Grant) which doubles as a computer room giving students vital access to computer learning – A first in the area. We take out donated laptops from our supporters to be used in the school.

School Bus Donated for Exposure Trips
We have donated a school bus so that students can go on field trips to learn about industry and life outside of remote rural village. Education is so much more than sitting in class. We have also donated and a car for logistics
Vocational Classrooms
Together with an Allan and Nesta Ferguson Grant and The Watford Chapel vocational workshops are being built. These workshops will teach practical hands on skill acquisition of carpentry and sewing/tailoring – training students in vocational skills that will enable them to earn incomes. Soon all school and lodge furniture, school uniforms, and female hygiene products plus so many other things will be produced onsite, providing sustainable income generating business streams both for the good of the school and the students.
Female Hygiene Support
In rural areas menstruating girls have to stay at home as they have no access and can’t afford Sanitary products. Teacher Aid Volunteers brought out Days for Girls reusable sanitary packs and trained community ladies and Nsobe Students how to make these reusable packs for themselves and the greater community and other sewing products for income generation
