Executive Summary Magaya Primary School Education project proposal is a project in association with Rozaria Memorial Trust and Magaya Old Students Association (MOSA). MOSA is an association of former students of Magaya Primary and Secondary schools of Murewa. The thrust of MOSA is to assist the two schools in rehabilitating infrastructure and learning materials. RMT is an organization founded in 2006 to support innovative community initiatives that promote education, health and entrepreneurship especially among you people. RMT and MOSA’s main concern is the realization of sustainable development in which the children, teachers and the community are involved in positive activities that will ensure socio-economic welfare in the entire locality and ensure proper learning environment by providing habitable accommodation. It is also in a way assisting Government attain the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) by providing ablution facilities at the school. The vision of MOSA is peaceful co- existence and development in which everyone participate equally and effectively in problem and solution identification and where local communities, governments and other developmental bodies facilitate and carry out skills transfer to the younger generation who are not fortunate enough to be afforded or even to go to school. MOSA has furthermore succeeded to hold three successful meetings with the School Development Committee (SDC) and community Heads to forge an understanding of our vision and goals. We made sure that there is community ownership of the project. There is need to involve everyone and have a buy in of the project. The local community and leadership have been very supportive and are doing their part by moulding bricks, providing other materials like river sand, stones and labour. In order to realize its goals, MOSA has agreed to assist in mobilising resources to build four class rooms to replace the ones which were destroyed by a hail storm. The construction cost will require USD8,000.00 for labour costs as materials worth $22360.00 were kindly donated by the Australian Embassy in January 2012 and work has started although builders are working with the assumption that MOSA will eventually get funding. Rozaria Memorial Trust’s main objective is to create community capacity to provide education and health infrastructure, and with a particular outreach to the most vulnerable in communities. Since 2006, RMT has been supporting children living with HIV working collaboratively with 9 schools in Murewa District, including at Magaya primary and secondary school, through which it has a long standing collaboration with MOSA. RMT Founder and Chairperson is also the current MOSA Patron. Project rationale Developments do not come to these remote parts of Murewa easily. As an
provide quality education in six months. Strategies of Implementation The project was proposed by a series of discussion with the local communities, review of baseline data, and also minutes of the MOSA meetings. At the initial start of the school project, MOSA will construct 4- class rooms, 12- toilets, and staff houses, and also equip the school gradually with teaching materials, such as text books and the supply of water. It should be noted that the school has now been electrified and that a borehole has now been sunk for the teachers as donation by one former student who is a member of MOSA. Phase 1 Construction of 4 classrooms has started but staff houses will start as soon as funds are availed. This will be followed by construction of storage tanks for rainwater collection. At the end of the project, the last act will be the buying of desks as Government has provided almost all the essential text books. Installation of a 5,000 litre borehole water collection plastic tank is at an advanced stage and purchase of desks will be done to enable the school to start operating in the second budget of phase two of the project. The school will admit 200 students over four classes MOSA has engaged the expertise of local builders and other labourers to carry out the actual work. The material donated by the Embassy was delivered and is at the school, well secured. The Head and her Deputy will prepare all the necessary reports including the financial reports and submit them to the Executive Committee of MOSA as was agreed upon. MOSA will invite the donor representatives and members of the government to carry out their own independent evaluation after the completion of the project. Continuous monitoring of the project will be conducted by the MOSA executive and representatives from the Embassy or potential sponsor to ensure that the project achieves its goals and objectives as set out in this proposal. Expected Results Quality education for 300 students delivered through creation of students friendly learning spaces; Improved standards of life among teaching staff at Magaya school. Increased enrolments up to 500 students and enhancement of habitable classrooms. 7. Deliverable Secretary of MOSA will deliver both technical and financial reports each month to the funding agency. This will include details of the class attendance by learners and teachers, lessons taught, materials purchased, challenges faced, achievements realized, money spent and the community
support. Project Beneficiaries The school facilities aim to give services to 300 primary school students from Magaya and surrounding villages such as Jakopo, Chimusoro, Marumisa, Dizha, Nyazema, Nhende etc. Monitoring and Evaluation A variety of formal and informal Monitoring and Evaluation mechanisms will be central to ensuring the appropriate delivery of effective and sustainable services. These will include: Multi Indicator Cluster Surveys, class performance surveys, class attendance data, girl-boy retention data and exit surveys. Project sustainability MOSA will continue to work with the local Council and Ministry of education on this capacity while also working closely with local NGO working on education programmes in the area. MOSA will develop a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Education which will clarify each partners’ roles and responsibilities both short and long term. The Ministry of education will be encouraged to provide staff for the facilities, facilitate the UNICEF supported school supply and MOSA will invest heavily in staff training at all levels. In this way sustainable structures for primary school education delivery will be developed in Magaya village, Murewa. MOSA will work with local communities to develop the capacity of individuals to play an active role in governance and delivery of education in primary school. Parents Teachers Association (PTA) will be formed to ensure the school’s future sustainability. MOSA’s annual sustainability assessment will be used to review the capacity of both local communities and school to take on further aspects of supporting the school after the donor phase. RMT will continue to provide its technical support and facilitation. 9. Collaboration RMT and MOSA will collaborate and network with the local community, community leaders, Development partners and Government of Zimbabwe. 10.
