This project will benefit Missionvale Care Center which is one of the poorest areas on the planet and will include two different areas of focus. 1. Basic Education and Literacy: We will purchase computers and technical equipment to provide a computer lab for the students of the Missionvale Primary School. 2. Disease Prevention and Treatment: Medicine and medical supplies will be purchased to help manage the chronic heath challenges prevalent in such impoverished areas.

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.

A volunteer Pharmacist Trainer has miraculously, it is fair to say, arranged the necessary formalities for us to re-instate the original Pharmaceutical training for care-givers, to finalise this grant. We were investigating using the funds for Early Learning

Centre –[ECD] teacher training by introducing a Centre at Missionvale itself. There is a crucial need for this and we have already done 3 grants as a group of 5 PE clubs.
