Renovations at Seganyane began in earnest in January 2024, with the demolition of old keyhole vegetable gardens. With the building of vibrant keyhole gardens, an innovative outdoor classroom, and two modern Greenhouses, the school is now poised to provide a more engaging and sustainable learning environment. These improvements will enrich the curriculum and foster a deeper connection with nature, encouraging students to explore and learn beyond the confines of traditional classrooms.
As the days passed, the Eco Village Garden at Seganyane Primary School blossomed into a living testament of what can be achieved through dedication, partnership, and a shared vision for a brighter future. The students are already reaping the benefits of the new learning spaces and the hands-on agricultural learning opportunities provided by the Greenhouses. Their excitement and active participation are a clear testament to the positive impact of this project on their learning experience.
As the renovation process came to an end, it was clear that the seeds of change had taken root, ready to flourish and grow for generations to come. Looking ahead, we are committed and excited to continue our efforts to support Seganyane Primary School and our other schools in the region. Together, we will ensure that every child has access to a quality education and a nurturing learning environment.
This project has become a reality thanks to the unwavering support from the surrounding community and our sponsors. Your spirit of collaboration and community support has been the driving force behind this project, as volunteers and our staff came together to assist in planting seedlings, painting murals, and constructing. We are truly grateful for your continued support.
Thank you to The Legacy Experience Foundation for their ongoing commitment to supporting the maintenance and improvement of the schools we partner with. Your generous contributions have been instrumental in making this project a success, and we are deeply grateful for your continued support.
