A School in Pakistan
"The new secondary school has been set up with a laboratory
but has very little equipment. It is quite difficult to
obtain locally and so this donation is wonderful. It will be
really appreciated by students and especially the science
teacher who will be greatly encouraged and delighted. We hope
that these facilities and equipment will result in some
students taking up the sciences when they leave school.
All these young people come from very poor homes and most have
illiterate parents in low paid menial jobs.
A Primary School in Uganda
"We express our gratitude for the great contribution the
science apparatus made towards our school's performance in the
end of year Primary Leaving Examinations. Our children
excelled in the science subject. This ranked the school number
one in the whole country with a percentage pass mark of 96%.
We actually accredit these good results to LabAid's
contribution which made teaching easy."
A High School in Uganda
"The equipment will go a long way in improving the teaching of
science in our schools. We would like to assure you that it is
going to be put to the best use and there is no doubt that the
performance of our students will greatly improve."

in our prayers."

teacher is struggling to describe."
