BUILDING THE MANGO TREE HOUSE EXTENSION

After completing the purchase of our new premises in Duler we set about renovating the existing House. Once this was complete our final goal was to build a two storey extension on the rear of the House so that it could accomodate all children. We continued to fundraise and began work  in late Autumn 2021. We completed the building in Spring 2023 and set about gaining all the necessary licences and permissions to occupy the extension and run all our activities there. We were thrilled to move all our activities there in October 2023 and delighted that the Chair Person of Mapusa Municipal Council and local Councillors were our Chief Guests and Guests of Honour on the Day.

You can see how the extension progressed below. None of what we achieved would have been possible but for the generosity of Mango Tree supporters and we thank each and every one who donated or supported our Brick By Brick Appeal or Leaves For Learning Appeal.
