Building Classrooms for Zvamaida Primary School

Dear Friends

Since I last wrote to you, we have been concentrating on building the toilets and hand wash facilities at Zvamaida School. To recap the situation, all of the existing toilets/latrines are to be refurbished and another 10 new toilets/latrines are being added to, so that the school will have a total of 20 toilets once the work is completed. In addition, the eight-position hand washing facilities are in process of being built as well.

I can show some pictures of the progress so far, which I attach within this report to you. We are by no means completed on this work yet, but the refurbishment of the toilets has been done, the holes are being dug for the new toilets, and the building of the hand wash station is well on the way to being completed.

I hope I will be able to advise you in my next report that the work on all this has been completed. In the meantime, please let me thank you for all your support in this project so far.

Very best wishes

Danny

In November last year, when I last wrote to update you, I said that the way had been cleared on the detail for the work on the toilets, and hygiene issues - which was mainly the Wash Station at the school. It has now been agreed in principal that 10 new toilets will be built, and that the existing 10 latrines will be reconditioned, so in total there will be 20 toilets for the children and staff.

The Wash Station will consist of 8 taps for hand washing. I attach a picture of a similar wash station to the one in our plans that is in use relatively local to Zvamaida Primary School.

Funding has currently been difficult and whilst we believe we have sufficent funds for this current phase of the project, we would welcome any funds you could afford towards the project in case we overrun the proposed costs. 

Once the toilets and wash station is complete, we will move onto the next phase of the project to complete the building of the school library

As you will recall, the library foundations were built at the same time as the classroom foundations were, (picture attached) so what we wish to achieve is to build the remainder of the building on top of the existing foundations.

I hope to be able to  report to you soon that the phase of the toilets and the wash station is complete.

Very best wishes

Danny
