Why hostels
A student who lives three hours away does not miss one lesson — she misses the term. Families weigh the cost of the journey against the value of the course, and the journey usually wins.
A hostel place removes that calculation entirely. For many of our students it is the difference between enrolling and not enrolling at all.
What a place includes
Single-sex hostels with a house parent living on site. [Rooms per hostel, students per room]
[How many meals a day, and who cooks them]
[Study room, lighting and hours — describe what is actually available]
A house parent, a locked compound and a register. [Add your own safeguarding arrangements]
[Hostel fee per term or year, and whether scholarships cover it]
[Where to apply, what is needed and when to do it]
Safeguarding
Any organisation housing young people is accountable for their safety, and donors will ask about it before they ask about anything else.
[Summarise your safeguarding policy here: who supervises, how staff are vetted, how a concern is reported, and who is responsible. If a written policy exists, link to it.]
Who stays here
Nursing and midwifery students, and secondary pupils whose families live outside Wau.
Give today
A bed, meals and a safe place to study — so distance stops deciding who gets an education.
