We educate gifted, but deprived students to relieve poverty in Zimbabwe.

Story

A group of sixth formers and teachers from Sheffield High School will complete a six mile walk on Friday 29th June, starting at 6.15am and finishing at the school in time to begin a full day’s work.

Inspired by the story of Peter Msongelwa, an A level student in rural Zimbabwe who used to walk 15 miles to school each day, we are raising money for the charity Makomborero, which is doing amazing work to help to young people in similar positions. If Peter can walk 15 miles before completing a day’s schooling, then walk 15 miles back home, we ought to be able to manage 6 miles in the morning before school. See Peter's story in this wonderful video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV7V1JWe7LU

You can also find out about the daily struggles, hardships and triumphs of the two incredible people who are making all this happen in Zimbabwe while bringing up their three young children, via their blog: www.albertynzim.blogspot.com

As a school we have raised £15,000 for this charity since 2011 and are very grateful for any donations.
