St Timothy’s School has 1,018 students and employs 14 teachers and four supporting staff. The new Two-classroom Block was dedicated to Claudia Calam, the first Chairperson of The St Timothy Foundation.
The completion of the new classroom block enabled an extra year to be added for older students – P7.
Also, in 2019 the Diocese of Nzara received a grant from a companion diocese in Iowa. This grant funded a further six classrooms. 450 pupils were accommodated in these new buildings and a new year group – P8 added. This is the final year group for St Timothy’s Primary School for transition into secondary education.
Diawo Nursery and Primary School now has 515 pupils and 10 teachers. These children continue to be educated under the mango trees and in the church. There are no blackboards or desks and benches.
The Girls’ Hygiene Kits were finished and arrived in Nzara so training could begin. A training video was made and translated into Zande to make it easily understood by all.
Teacher training continued and the two students worked in St Timothy’s School during their university holidays. The students were given two reconditioned laptops to help them with their studies. Both students passed their assessment tests at the end of Semester one in this first year of undergraduate study.
