The Friends of Namuncha decided in 2019 to create a fund that will enable students who gain the grades for college entry to learn crafts and trades, to enter college. For higher education colleges and universities this will enable them to enroll for the first semester and then apply for a government grant.

We have secured places for students to study on Community development, tourism and hospitality, electrical engineering, agriculture,  and hairdressing.  We are currently looking to  enable students to attend courses on engineering, building and construction and animal husbandry.

For craft colleges there is already a 50% government grant for all students and the grant will enable them to enrol and complete the 2 year course. It is anticipated that the majority of those who attend the craft courses will return to work and develop the community. The cost of this project is between £350 to £450 depending upon the college attended. We aim to raise sufficient funds for at least three students per year.

So far this process has enabled five young people to start their college courses.  During the pandemic one undert00k her college assignment in the community with the Chimney Project.
