The wonderful Court Fields School community continues to provide vital support for people on an island in the Indian Ocean.
The annual Madagascar Week this year raised £1,223.71 and the school has thanked students, parents and staff for their support.
“During the week we had various fundraising activities, which included lots of cake sales. We also went walking, cycling, swimming and running to Madagascar as a group, virtually of course! We managed 6,199.33 miles through the month of April. This smashed our target of 5,716 miles!
“The money raised this year will make a massive difference to the people in Madagascar. Over the past years we have put in three clean water projects, which has meant hundreds of people in three villages have access to clean fresh water.
“We have also built a school, originally for primary aged children but, in 2018, we were able to extend the school to accommodate older children. In 2019 we helped to build a preschool.
The money raised this year will be for another, much-needed project in Madagascar. Court Fields School works with the Madagascar Development Fund, so when we have a final amount, we will discuss with MDF what is needed the most at the moment.
“We really can’t thank you enough for all your help and support! This is an amazing achievement, and we are committed to continue to make a difference.”
