PURPLE POST - December 2024
Our new Parenta Trust school has opened!
More good news…. our 6th Parenta Trust pre-school, Wisdom Nursery School, in Rwanda, has opened, and will provide early years education to over 230 orphaned and disadvantaged children every year! This milestone highlights the Trust’s dedication to improving access to quality education across Eastern Africa. The school was opened in memory of the late Nigel Hutchings, whose fundraising efforts went towards making this vision a reality.

Parenta Trust’s Maidstone to Monaco Rally to return in 2025!
The highly-anticipated Parenta Trust Maidstone to Monaco rally will return next June – a highlight in the Parenta Trust fund-raising calendar. During this exciting five-day escapade, teams in a variety of cars and motorbikes (some old bangers, some newer models!) travel through eight countries, traverse the Alps and negotiate the winding roads of the Furka Pass in some of the hottest temperatures ever recorded. Teams camp under the stars and take part in various challenges along the way, before reaching their final destination of glamorous Monaco - all in aid of “the drive to build a school”.
Read about the adventures and see some amazing photos of the last rally, on the Trust’s website, here.
Please email trust@parenta.com if you are interested in joining us for what will be an unmissable few days!

“I started my qualification with Parenta earlier this year. They were very welcoming and caring from the start. My tutor is a very nice person and an excellent professional who supports me throughout. Teaching and learning sessions are well-structured and led by knowledgeable tutors. The Onefile system is well-designed and helps keep track of my progress. We are offered to take part in monthly seminars with industry professionals. Overall, I am very satisfied with my learning at Parenta.”
