Help Pravin start the school year with the right tools
Pravin won a place at Pretoria Technical College but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.
🇿🇦 Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa735 views
Pravin earned a place in Year 11 at Pretoria Technical College, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $215, which is more than they have.
Pravin loves mathematics and wants to become a nurse. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
He will take care of everything given and works very hard.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $215 goes:
• Laptop: $105
• School uniform and shoes: $70
• Textbooks and workbooks: $35
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $5
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
Updates from Willem
Good news. Because of your gifts ($98 in total) I made the first payment toward laptop. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 22% now ($48). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

Take care, Willem. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
So sorry you're going through this, Willem. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Pretoria
Sending strength, Willem. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Pune
Thinking of you, Willem. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Zaria but we're thinking of you.
