Wulugu Project
Improved education is the key to helping people break out of a cycle of poverty, malnutrition and disease and thus bring a sense of hope to some of the most neglected community's in the world. Lynne Symonds, a Norfolk school teacher, set up the Wulugu Project when someone told her "Our school has no equipment, no books and no furniture". The Wulugu Project aims to promote and educate in developing countries. Lack of education is the cause of much preventable disease. Improving education, particularly basic science education and providing vocational training will enable the people themselves to tackle the devastating problems of malnutrition, poverty and disease which afflict their communities. Localised training for women gives them the means to earn money. This money is needed to pay to keep their children in school, basic medicines and food if their own crops fail. A source of income removes the need to sell their daughters into early marriage and they can continue their education. In Northern Ghana, female students form only 20% of the school, the Wulugu Project aims to work with the local people to help readdress this gender balance. Improved education will raise the status of women, it will lead to smaller, better cared families - the children will be fed, have more informed treatment when ill and have greater protection against malnutrition, illness and deaths. The Wulugu Project needs your help to improve and promote education in developing countries. Please donate to this worthy cause, anything large or small can go a long way.
