Ngwenya Pre-Primary and Primary

2011: TPP conducted a census to identify children eligible for pre-primary school. Very few children could attend school because of the 5 km walk from Ngwenya to the closest primary school. Two community elders donated 100 acres of land for a school building, a school farm, and land where families could relocate their homes closer to the school. Ngwenya community members cleared four acres of the land for a preschool and formed a parents' committee.
2012: TPP and TAG Philanthropic Foundation provided funds to construct a pre-primary school in the Milola sub-village of Ngwenya. Construction finished in September.
2013: Classes began at Ngwenya Pre-Primary School with 90 students. A rainwater harvesting system was then installed. The Ngwenya community built a kitchen from local materials for the school feeding program and set aside 15 acres to further develop the school as attendance grows.
2014: A survey was conducted of the full 100 acres of land donated by two Milola elders for future education facilities. TPP contributed ten desks and 164 books to the school.
2015: Community members constructed a two-room temporary classroom while the District builds new classrooms. TPP constructed a school kitchen, installed a fuel efficient stove, and provided new cooking pots that can withstand the high heat of the new stove.
2016: TPP installed new hole latrines. Play360, a US-based NGO, installed a playground. TAG Philanthropic Foundation and TPP funded a duplex home for the teachers at the new primary school in Ngwenya. The house includes a kitchen, living area, latrine, rainwater harvesting system, and solar electricity.
