Completed : CHAKARELI COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL – 6 New Classrooms

About the Project

The current classrooms at Chakareli school are in quite terrible condition, many of them so bad they have been condemned.  Several of the other classrooms that are operational are also in deteriorating condition, but have left them with enough space to still conduct classes. Three classrooms are wooden, and the ECD is a wobbly structure built from plastered Styrofoam. To begin with at this new site, we plan to build 6 new classrooms to provide a better learning environment for the students. This will first require the demolition of a few smaller buildings to make room for the new ones.
