AFRICAN refugees will have the chance of a better education thanks to a school which closed after 119 years.

Holy Trinity College, Plaistow Lane, Bromley, is sending science equipment, library books, textbooks and more than 100 computers to help set up schools for refugees returning to their homes.

These supplies will go to a boarding school in Uganda and five secondary schools in Sudan.

They will also help Sudanese and Somali refugees learn IT skills in Kenya before they travel back to their own countries.

College chaplain Joseph Ct said: "Refugees in Africa are in pain and captive in their situation. By setting up the schools we are making sure they have something to go back to."

The college closed at the end of last term for financial reasons.
