GPS Tokomololo

In 2014 The Akanesi Mataitonga Trust took on the challenging project of renovating a primary school in the village of Tokomololo in Tonga. Funds were raised in the UK through networking and fundraising activities, including sponsored walks and runs, quiz nights and raffles. Also friends, family and work colleagues contributed to make this project a success.

The Tokomololo school buildings were run down and unsafe for young children to be learning in. It was a great team effort by the Mataitonga family to project manage and organize this project, especially with Trustees living in three different countries at the time. Materials were donated and shipped across the globe, and local craftsmen were engaged to assist with the renovation and also the ongoing maintenance of the buildings.
