Chidobe Primary School - Zimbabwe
Alex Ruffell Memorial Fund. 30.9.98
This fund has been set up for essential financial support for Chidobe School in Zimbabwe.
We have chosen to support this school after hearing about the fantastic work of a local family, following the tragic loss of their son Alex to Meningitis at the age of 16.
In the memory of Alex over the past 26 years they have funded building programs, food support and teaching materials.
To remember Alex and to continue the good work, the memorial fund was set up.
Money and items are collected and the school is visited each year,
the funds are spent on site during the visit and all financial expenditure is recorded.
