The Ngella Constituency Office has donated 10 sets of solar lights, valued at $13,500, to Leitongo High School’s Primary Sector as part of its support for the school’s ongoing fundraising initiative.
A formal handover of the donation was made on Friday, July 18, 2025, and is intended to serve as raffle prizes for a fundraising event organized by the school to support the construction of a new staff house, scheduled to begin in 2026.
The announcement was made through a post on the Central Islands Province (CIP) Forum.
Robert Kade, Project Officer for Ngella Constituency, presented the donation and reaffirmed the office’s commitment to supporting development initiatives in education and community services.
“Community support is mandatory in our approach to development.
“This has been a continuous practice through the Constituency Development Committees (CDCs), which are responsible for coordinating development programs, approving budgets, managing funds, monitoring project implementation, and developing constituency development plans,” he said.
James Sale, Principal of Leitongo High School’s Primary Sector received the donation on behalf of the schools, expressed his gratitude and described the support as significant not only for the school but for the broader community.
“This is a big help to our efforts in building a staff house, which is essential for the welfare of our teachers and for the continued growth of our school,” he said.
The raffle draw is scheduled to commence on December 5, 2025, with the solar lights expected to boost ticket sales and community engagement in the fundraising campaign.
