With the current crisis affecting NIcaragua, we did not think we would be able to take on a school rehabilitation project this year but with some luck we have found an angel donor to fund a large portion of the $20k budget. Beginning in just 3 weeks, we are breaking ground on a major rehab project at the elementary school in San Luis. San Luis is one of the poorer communities in the greater area that we serve. Employment is hard to find, especially now with the economic and political crisis affecting the country The school in San Luis hosts Pre-School to Grade 6 with 80 students attending daily. This is one of the oldest schools in our greater community and is badly in need of repairs.
The project includes the following:
San Luis is facing a water crisis with limited access to clean water so we decided to drill a deep well on the school property that will provide the community with drinking water and water for the school as well.
Prep-work has already begun and the projet is scheduled for completion at the end of January.
Thanks for your ongoing support.
