British school children raise money for school fees in Zimbabwe

A fundraising drive by British students to help school children in Africa has resulted in the formation of a new charity and an ongoing commitment to improve the lives of young people in Zimbabwe. Students at George Elliot Community School in Nuneaton, England were involved in a pioneering fundraising drive to raise money for Pafiwa High School in the Mutasa District of Zimbabwe. As a result of the success of the fundraising effort, the fundraising drive has become an ongoing effort and is now known as the George Eliot Charity Organisation.
