Congratulations Ntunungwe School!!!!

 It's just common sense that good nutrition can go so far to change a child's life.

Great news in from Ntunungwe School, one which has been distributing e'Pap to the Grade 7 classes since 2013. The school is supported by Gill Dudman, a local farmer in the area who has for many years dedicated her time and love to the children in this impoverished area.  She wrote.....

"Ntunungwe School achieved a 76,3% pass rate in the  National Grade 7 exams.  Thank you e'Pap, good teachers and able Children!"

The e'Pap is purchased through donations from many sources including the pupils at Carmel School
in Bulawayo, as well as Bredon School in the UK.  A recent newsletter sent to Bredon reads... 

"We also spent some money on Epap, as our supplies were getting rather low.
The Grade 7s are busy writing their national exams. We have been able to feed all 40 of them once a day since the first term in January on Epap. The porridge has made them all look so healthy.
The porridge is also called ‘Clever porridge’ as the children’s work improves when they get good nutrition. Your donation has also meant that we are able to feed some of the pre-school children who were looking rather thin."

 

e'Pap Cares for the Environment

The e’Pap team joined forces with rhino conservationist and activist, Sam Nkomo and his fellow walkers on Saturday 22 November to clean Bulawayo’s filthy streets.  Sam jumped around at the last minute to get his walkers to work with us and it is living proof that he is a man of action, rather than words.  His commitment to the environment is total.  Thanks Sam and team for working with us.

Organised by the City of Bulawayo,  under the Bulawayo Solid Waste Improvement Platform (BSWIP) this multi-stakeholder initiative is determined to help restore the city to its former glory of being the cleanest city in the country and beyond.

Before we left to clean “our” street, we were entertained by some great dancers and we got to meet the mascot for the African Youth Games about to start here.  Our team cleaned 5^th Ave, including the noxious market and we were proud to do our bit for our environment. 

e’Pap Zimbabwe is committed to, “reduce, reuse, recycle” and our “Gogo” project to reuse our bags is gaining popularity.  We also no longer have to buy bags for our seedlings.  

 In the Eastern Cape the e'Pap feeding scheme uses the bags for carpet protection and as "raincoats" for the little ones!
