Message from Lynn Clifford, WAG Field Operations Manager

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We want to extend our warmest thanks to each of you for your incredible generosity and continued support for our secondary school students. Because of you, all school fees for this year have been paid, and every student has received school uniforms and learning materials — giving them the confidence and tools they need to succeed.

This year, we are proudly sponsoring nine students across two districts — five girls and four boys. Among them, three will be sitting for their final secondary school exams, and three have just begun their first year of secondary school.

Since 2022, a total of 21 students have benefited from your support. Out of these, 10 have successfully graduated, one unfortunately failed, two left school due to pregnancy, and one transferred to another donor who could offer additional support. We are also proud to share that our students over the years so far have have achieved a 100% pass rate in the GCSE exams and a 67% pass rate in the final national exams — results that speak volumes about their determination and the opportunities your kindness has made possible.

The fact that these children are in school — all for them form extremely poor families, many of them the first in their families to reach secondary education — is entirely because of you. You have given each of them at least four more years of education, hope, and a chance at a brighter future.

From all of us at the Wildlife Action Group and the communities around Thuma, thank you for believing in these young people and walking this journey with us. Your support is truly changing lives.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Lynn Clifford
