The organization whose aim is to build education in the two sister chiefdoms of Yoni Mamaila and Mabanta was established by students and friends who attended school during the 80s.

Kamason said, the organization has heard about the school’s ongoing project of constructing a fence, and since it involves money, that is why the organization is stepping in for their little contribution.

Though the cash might be small, Kamason urged the school to use it to push its ongoing project.

The administration of the school has expressed satisfaction and thanked the membership for what it called a laudable and timely intervention. In a statement, the school said it is grateful to the Yoni Academic Friends of the 80s.

Over the years, the organization has supported pupils in different learning institutions across the chiefdom with school bags, books, pens, school fees, and other learning materials.
