We have grown: from 15 to 163 schoolchildren since 2007!
The first children who started with us are about to go into Grade 5, and we desperately need to get some walls and a roof on the new classroom block. Otherwise, these children will have to go to another school several miles away.
Brett is building as fast as he can, but is running out of money to complete the new classroom block. Here is an updated breakdown of costs, with a few recent pictures…
Materials & contractor costs to complete three classrooms & two offices: Total cost of project = US$ 32,608-00
Paid and completed:
- Cement for Foundation Footings = US$ 504-00
- Cement for Substructure = US$ 216-00
