A heartfelt thank you to Africa Tanks for their generous donation of a water tank to Ark Academy. 💧💛

As we continue building our permanent home, we're also laying the foundations for a vegetable garden that will help support the children and families in our community.

This water tank will allow us to collect and store rainwater, creating a more sustainable way to maintain the garden and helping us make the most of every drop.

What may seem like a simple donation today will have a lasting impact for years to come - supporting food security, sustainability, and the growth of our community.

Thank you, Africa Tanks, for investing in the future of Ark Academy and helping us turn this vision into reality. 🌱✨

We would like to extend another heartfelt thank you to Power for their incredible generosity in donating 2,700 bricks, valued at approximately R5,000, to the Ark Academy build. 🧱💛

This donation will help us continue building toward the permanent classrooms our children so desperately need, bringing us one step closer to creating a safe, compliant learning environment for the families we serve.

What makes this gift even more meaningful is that it follows several other acts of kindness from UDE Power, including their donation of blankets for our children and cement for the build. Your continued support is helping turn a dream into a reality.

Thank you for believing in Ark Academy and for investing in the future of our children. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and generosity. ✨

A quick and transparent update on the Ark Academy build 💛

We’ve now received a quote for the next batch of bricks needed to continue construction, totaling just under R5,000 incl. VAT. These bricks will help us keep momentum going and move the build forward again. 🧱✨

We’re sharing the supplier invoice so our community can see exactly what is needed and where support is going. Every contribution - no matter the size - helps bring us closer to completing a safe, permanent learning space for our children.

Thank you for continuing to walk this journey with us 💛

We are so grateful to the Fourways Review and journalist Ayanda Ntshingila for once again taking the time to visit Ark Academy and share our story. 💛

Your continued support, interest, and willingness to shine a light on both our school and our building journey truly mean so much to us. Every feature helps raise awareness, connect us with new supporters, and bring us one step closer to completing a permanent home for our children.

Thank you for continuing to walk this journey with us and for helping amplify the work being done within our community. ✨

We’re excited to share a meaningful milestone in the Ark Academy build. 🧱💛

Thanks to continued community support, we have now built the eco-brick walls up to window height on the front structure - a big step forward in bringing our permanent classrooms to life.

While there is still a long way to go, progress like this reminds us what is possible when people come together with a shared purpose.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support this journey, we couldn’t do it without you. ✨

A big thank you to The Party Shed Northriding for their generous support in offering us a discounted rental on a jumping castle for the children at Ark Academy, on the last day of school before the Easter weekend. 🎈💛

While our focus is always on building and meeting essential needs, moments of joy like these are just as important for our children. For many of them, opportunities to simply play, laugh, and be carefree are few and far between.

Thanks to your kindness, we were able to give the kids a day filled with excitement and happiness, something they will remember for a long time.

We truly appreciate your support in helping us create not only a place of learning, but also a space where children can experience joy. ✨

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to UDE Power for their incredible generosity in covering the cost of building materials in the form of bricks and cement, including delivery from Cashbuild. 🧱💛

This is a significant contribution toward getting the Ark Academy build moving again. Cement is one of our most critical needs right now, and this support brings us one step closer to continuing construction on our permanent classrooms.

After already blessing our children with blankets this winter, this further act of kindness speaks volumes about your commitment to our community.

We are deeply grateful for your continued support and for playing such an important role in helping us build a better future for our children. ✨
