We are happy to share some exciting news with you — our playing field has undergone significant improvements, bringing us one step closer to creating a vibrant and safe recreational space for the mothers and children we support.
To begin with, we raised the field using a layer of murram. This important step was done to reduce the sogginess of the ground, especially during rainy seasons, and to protect the field from being flooded by surface water. By doing this, we are ensuring that the field remains usable throughout the year, offering a stable and safe environment for various activities.
In addition to the field improvements, the road that runs alongside the field is also being upgraded. Previously made of murram, it is now being surfaced with bitumen. This road upgrade will greatly enhance the drainage system along the field and minimize the chances of water pooling or seeping into the playing area. The better the drainage, the longer we can preserve the quality of the field, making it a lasting resource for the community.
Currently, we are adding a fresh layer of topsoil to prepare the ground for planting grass. Having a grassy surface will not only make the field more beautiful but will also provide a softer, safer playing surface for everyone, especially the young children. Once the grass has taken root, we will move to the next phase: installing soccer goals and outdoor gym structures.
This new space is vital for the physical and emotional well-being of the mothers and their babies. Regular exercise and outdoor activities play a crucial role in building healthy lifestyles, boosting mental health, and strengthening community bonds.
None of these achievements would be possible without your unwavering support. Your contributions are directly transforming the lives of young mothers who have faced difficult circumstances. Through your generosity, you are not just giving them a safe space to play and grow — you are offering them hope, dignity, and a fresh start.
We sincerely thank you for being part of this life-changing journey. We encourage you to continue standing with us as we build even more opportunities for these courageous young women and their children.
