Degana finishes phase 1

We are so excited to announce that our first school has finished the first phase our our project with them. Here are the results.

This may not look like much, but it is renovated classroom. They were able to buy new supports and most importantly, a tin roof. Prior to this, the classroom roof was made of branches. A tin roof will allow education to continue to take place no matter the weather.

They were also able to start on a brand new classroom. We believe strongly the schools should not just be given handouts. To this regard, this project worked exactly how we had envisioned. We did not give them enough money to finish the project, so they went to their local education ministers and were able to obtain the rest of the amount needed to finish the classroom. The government was more than happy to give them the partial funds needed to finish the classroom off. We are currently waiting for their proposal for their second year. The second year they will need to propose something that is income generating.
