Each year the Trust, in conjunction with the school, selects 60 children to receive our support. Recipients are chosen at the end of the first year of the primary school, on the basis of material circumstances. This support is continued throughout their time at the Primary School, and is currently being extended to those who then become pupils at Assunta Secondary School.

Here are a selection of comments from some of the girls we support:

“Teacher Jeannie is very kind. HVT gives us meals and tuition. I am proud to be part of HVT! I love my HVT teachers and want to study hard.”
