The Dormitory Project

Status: Completed

Total Project Cost: $6,000 USD

June 2010 - August 2010

Thanks to the generous donations of many individuals, between June 2011-August 2011 a large, two-roomed dormitory building was constructed so that the children have a safe, clean and beautiful home. The children, who were used to sleeping on a cement floor huddled together, now each have their own bed and sleep under ventilated ceiling fans (which reduce the risk of malaria). The building has electricity throughout and a large porch where the children play and study. This project only took 2 months to complete and has revolutionized the way the children live.
