On Friday 16 May, 14 students from Ikondo Secondary School were attacked by hippos while crossing a river on their way to school.
All students have now been discharged from hospital, but this was a terrifying experience for these young children, and many of them lost their possessions during the attack.
Their only route to school involves crossing the river in a small boat, so our local rep Alpha is working closely with the community to discuss longer-term safety improvements and we are now mapping this area
The children have all been given temporary accommodation at the school, but this means they need food and other basic supplies until they can return home.
We are also providing
>Temporary accommodation and meals for the affected students
>Replacement school bags, books, and learning materials
>Longer-term safety improvements, developed with the community
Any amount will make a difference, please donate or share today:
Thank you for your support
