Projects

We are making monthly life a bit more comfy for our oldest girls. Kits4Girls are stuffed full of essentials to eliminate the stigma and limitations so that young women have improved health and education.

This is one HUGE undertaking that started back in 2025 with fundraising and looking for some capable volunteers in Ontario. A team of seamstresses and helpers started work early 2025 and completed the labour of love mid-2026.

Shipments deliver JOY!

It's a surprise! Truly!  When we start this page in January of each year, we never know what will end up being done! Here you will find photos of the smaller jobs and initiatives that we do this year.

March - 100 student and 2 teacher texts purchased for our JHS literacy classes. We thank Susan and Tony Anderson for this gift for our oldest students at Dekpor Basic!

May - Dekpor Yia's purple toilet facility had extensive masonry repairs and improvements to deal with erosion and diverting water

Talk about necessary!  Just take a look at the before photos of the clinic roof! Rain was pouring through. 

The old roofing sheets were badly damaged, lifted, rusting and allowing extensive rotting to the wood and ceiling underneath. Trusses had to be replaced, the fascia, and other repairs were necessary. We ordered the long roofing sheets so that the clinic will be safe for many years to come. 

Wifi in Dekpor? YES!!!

We call it "Dental Week", but the truth is, this incredible team has fine-tuned this undertaking like pros and were done after THREE very long days!  This is the SEVENTH time that we have brought in a dental team to do their work in the Dekpor Basic School library hall.

Three dentists and one dental assistant made the trek from Sogakope. Linda, Edzi, Helen and a handful of others helped with photos, organising, calling parents when necessary, and keeping students where they needed to be.

Oh, what a gift! We know that tech is the way of the future and how wonderful that we are able to provide EXTRA classes beyond the typical school hours!

We have an incredible computer lab and making the most of it benefits everyone. Thanks to the annual donation made by former outreach volunteer, Alan Lawrence, we happily have hired one of our ICT grads to run computer classes every late afternoon once regular classes have finished.  This is the 6th year that we have been fortunate enough to do this!

It's that time again.

There is one constant theme: the time spent in Dekpor is eye-opening and heart-warming. Please open the album above to see the smiles.

In March, Linda hosted several wonderful friends!

- Helen Rochon, a friend who has been to Dekpor several times, came for a month and spent her time working alongside Linda with all of the initiatives that were being accomplished. Helen, we love you and your ongoing love and support!
