Funzi & Bodo Desk Project

The Problem

At two remote schools, one in the village of Bodo and the second on the island of Funzi, students face issues of overcrowding and a lack of having proper desks to sit at in their classrooms.

The Solution

The funding for this project will pay a local carpenter to build new desks that will be distributed amongst the two schools. This project will not only help children who will attend the school for years to come, but also provides work to local tradespeople.
