For more than 20 years, St Marcellin Children’s Village in Harare has been home to 66 children aged between three months and 18 years old. The orphanage also houses a preschool and a primary school for boys and girls living in the surrounding area. The 16 classes can accommodate up to 300 pupils in total. However, the only place to play sport is an undeveloped patch of dirt. Proper sports facilities are crucial to the children’s development.
Project goals
- To give all children access to sport at school
- For each of the 300 pupils to attend two to three supervised sports sessions each week
- To make the sports facilities available for children from the orphanage and the surrounding area to use outside school hours
- To offer a space where members of the community can relax and interact
Project content
The team will build a fully equipped 30m x 15m multi-sport pitch and will develop the outside space into a grass sports field measuring 70m x 50m.
These facilities will be built in a sustainable way and will be accessible to disabled children. They will be managed and maintained jointly by the two schools.
