0 Bush School Dormitories, Zambia
High Five Club members and our long-term educational benefactor Roffey Homes of East Sussex have together funded the renovation of both the girls and boys dormitories at Chunga School. These were posing a danger to the pupil’s lives as they were collapsing around them!
The pupils had decided to paint images of monkeys and baboons on the walls in acknowledgement that H5C’s support in renovating their dormitories had been delivered in partnership with Zambia Primate Project. This H5C intervention really is a win-win for both people and wildlife!

0 H5C Breakfast Clubs, Kenya & Zambia
The High Five Club continues its support this year of our school “Breakfast Clubs”, in the wildlife-rich Masai Mara in Kenya and South Luangwa in Zambia.
The provision of one nutritious meal a day means that attendance levels at these schools have soared. The children no longer miss class due to being too hungry to walk to school or in their search for food – the latter contributing to the levels of poaching in these wildlife areas.

0 Life After Prostitution, Burundi
Working hand in hand with the Burundian NGO Great Lakes Outreach, High Five Club has supported Bravo Ministries with the purchase of a portable Honda generator for their sewing workshop. The new generator means that the women can produce more goods for sale, helping increase their income and enabling them to become self-sufficient and forge a new life for themselves.
