Belola Village’s Children
Not only do Belola Village’s children have to walk 5km each way to the nearest school, but they have to carry 5 litres of water with them – as the school has no water. This walk is too hard and too dangerous for many of the children who should be going to school – not to mention those of pre-school age. This has been the case since the Indonesia militia destroyed the school in 1999. Estimates are that a Prep to Year 2 school at Belola will change this for situation for 100 – 150 children.

Spend it Well Back Building Schools!
Spend it Well is back doing what we love best – building schools! We’re working with the Balibo House Trust and Rotary to build a new Prep – Year 2 school in a small village outside Balibo. Children too small to walk the 10km round trip over hills into Balibo will now be able to go to school. And children currently doing this hour long walk twice a day will be able to go to school in their own village. We have broken ground on this project already – more photos and details to follow soon.
