The Zagalona and Angola Basic schools in Karary in the Omdurman Province provide basic education to children from a variety of backgrounds whose families have limited resources and would otherwise not have the opportunity to attend school. CAFOD have worked in the region for many years assisting the local community to build and maintain centres of learning for the young and impoverished.
The two schools mentioned received direct funding from CAFOD enabling them to build classrooms and employ teachers. Recent donations from CPL have been directed towards these projects hence a visit from the company’s senior management to see for themselves the progress that has been made.
Commenting on the visit; Group CEO, Chris Pickthall said “We found the trip extremely moving and motivating. I was particularly taken by how happy and healthy all the kids were. Whatever their difficulties they seemed to be having a great time at school and were so friendly.”
The Sudan school project was chosen by members of the Pickthall family to receive funding as part of the annual donation made by the company to CAFOD.
