A Remarkable Journey of Growth and Transformation from 2009 to 2024
Destiny Garden School has made incredible strides over the years, thanks to the unwavering support of Destiny Children Charity and its generous donors. What began in 2009 as a modest effort with rented makeshift classrooms has now blossomed into a thriving educational institution that owns its land, boasts permanent facilities, and provides a safe, nurturing environment for its students.
From Makeshift Classrooms to a Permanent Home
In 2009, the school operated out of rented, makeshift classrooms, constantly facing the risk of eviction. Today, thanks to generous donations and grants through Destiny Children Charity, Destiny Garden School owns its land and has built permanent classrooms. The risk of eviction is gone, and funds once spent on rent are now invested in improving the education and welfare of the students.
Improved Learning Environments
Back in 2009, children sat on mats on the floor to learn. Fast forward to today, and the classrooms are equipped with proper desks and chairs, creating a far better environment for learning. This significant upgrade has been made possible entirely through the incredible generosity of Destiny Children Charity’s supporters.
From Outdoor Cooking to a Purpose-Built Kitchen
When the school first began, there was no kitchen; all cooking was done outdoors on the ground. Today, the school boasts a purpose-built kitchen, funded by Destiny Children Charity. This facility not only creates a healthier, more hygienic environment for preparing meals but also provides a better working space for the cooking staff.
Access to Clean Water
In its early days, water had to be brought in manually, and students washed their hands in a communal bowl before lunch. Now, the school has its own borehole, providing clean water on tap—a game-changing improvement funded by Destiny Children’s supporters. This innovation not only ensures a reliable supply of clean water but also saves the school money and benefits the environment.
Proper Dining Facilities
In 2009, children ate their lunch sitting on mats outside. Today, they enjoy meals in a purpose-built dining shelter with tables and benches, thanks to Destiny Children Charity. Every child receives a warm, nutritious lunch daily, ensuring at least one healthy meal in a clean and safe environment.
Enhanced Administration Facilities
The school’s administration has also seen remarkable improvement. In 2009, the administrator worked at a desk under a tree, exposed to the elements. Today, a purpose-built office provides a proper workspace, offering shelter during the monsoon season and a professional environment to manage the school’s operations.
The transformation of Destiny Garden School is a testament to what is possible through dedication, vision, and the kindness of donors. From makeshift beginnings to a sustainable and thriving educational institution, Destiny Garden School has become a beacon of hope for its students and the community it serves.
