Transport for School Children

$62,150

Provide transport to get rural children to the nearest primary school which is up to 45 km away by broviding a 30 seater bus. At present the children have to make their own way to school, often only arriving in time to hear the closing bell. The school governing body has the means of maintaining and controlling the bus that will belong to the school. There is no public transport in this remote area of North West province.
