DGH Vallejee
Foundation
Mission:
Improving the Quality of Life of poor children through Education.
DGH Vallejee Foundation was founded in 2005 by
Guy Montezuma, the Chief Executive of DGH Services which has an
Employment Agency, Staff Training & Development and Management
Consultancy.
The aims of the Foundation are to assist poor children in Cite Vallejee
and Cassis , suburbs of Port Louis , Mauritius. This will be done
to improve their quality of life through additional educational
support e.g. after school tuition, equipment and practical resources
to enhance/promote learning education, literacy classes for parents
so they can assist their children.
Fundraising . Most of the funds will be from DGH Services who will
donate a percentage of its annual profit to the Foundation. In addition
fundraising events will be organised to increase the Foundation’s
income.
Ongoing Projects
The DGH Vallejee Foundation has provided for the refurbishment of
an annexe of a Church in Cassis to accommodate a Library, Computer
Room and Classroom.
In August 2005 the Foundation made a contribution of £1,500
to the project which will in total cost £14,000. The facilities
created by the project will provide valuable resources for the local
children, giving them access to computers and books to complement
their learning and development.
In 2006/7 several donations of computer software, digital projector
and books have been made.
In May 2008 a donation of a digital projector, computer software
was made to the Vallejee School. Financial assistance was also given
to some needy children for purchase of school uniform and school
material.
Practical Assistance has been given by friends and colleagues who
whilst on holiday to Mauritius has visited the projects/ school.
This provides a boost to the morale of the children, Teachers and
volunteers as well as increasing the enthusiasm of the children
to learn and hopefully improve their prospects.
Ultimately the Foundation hopes to support one or more children
through higher education and they will give something back when
they are successful.
