WCC water project (Sierra Leone)

WCC aims to provide children and young people in Sierra Leone with improved quality of life and access to up to date educational services.The focus of the school will be educational development and health awareness. WCC will use sport, drama and other arts activities as a tool for engagement, along with strategies and programmes to engage and enhance knowledge retention and growth. The project will assist 5,000 children over the 3 years of the project.

In are in the process of building a  permanent residence which is  required to sustain a foundational and positive environment for the development of our students future. The need to secure the future of the school for the benefit of the community is vital. Losing funds on paying rent does not provide investment opportunities to develop the school properly, and this is the reason for seeking a permanent residence. We intend to expand to an additional 100 students, and the growth of the physical site is of the upmost importance.

The Interventions

The project is going to intervene with the following activities:

Construction of the WCC Academy Building

• Construct a new school building containing classrooms, a kitchen, toilet facilities and bathrooms using locally sourced sand, cement and workers.

• Provide primary education to 500 orphans and homeless children aged 5-14 years old.

• Equip the school with educational resources such as books and stationary as well as tables, chairs and a blackboard to aid effective learning.

• Build an adjacent healthcare centre which is accessible to each of the community’s 20,500 inhabitants. This will be funded through future endeavors and contributors.

Offer extracurricular activities such as sporting activities and field trips.
