THE desks project, which is run by Rotary Club of Dar es Salaam, has received yet another boost after the Tanzania CMC Automobiles donated a brand new car for a lottery to raise funds for the project.
The handing over of the car – a brand new Renault took place recently in Dar es Salaam where the car will be used in a lottery to raise funds to be directed to the Rotary Club Dar es Salaam’s desks project.
Speaking during the occasion, Rotary Club of Dar es Salaam president Nikki Aggarwal said so far the club has given 1650 desks, worth 250m/- to different primary schools, hence lifting about 5,000 pupils off the floor.
Nikki said currently 400 desks are in production and the contribution from CMC will enable the club to donate more desks to the needy schools.
“We are very thankful to CMC for this great donation not just to our club, but to the needy pupils from our public schools which are facing a serious problem of lack of enough desks,” she stated.
She further said the club’s goal was to invest in the future of Tanzania by empowering children through education.
She also mentioned that the desks are made with a steel frame and treated hardwood to ensure the durability of the desks for many years.
