Chester Rotary Donates 36 Tutu Desk

The Tutudesk Campaign was started by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and has continued under the leadership of his daughter, Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe with the key mission to provide 20 million Tutudesks to African school children by 2025. An estimated 95+ million children in sub-Saharan Africa are affected by classroom desk shortages, which has a direct, ongoing, and extremely negative impact on the development of the child’s literacy development and academic performance. Tutudesk provides children in need with a mobile, steady and stable desk enabling an immediate, lasting and positive impact on the beneficiary child’s literacy development and overall academic performance.
