Originally started solely as a nursery school, they now serve students through class four. With only six small classrooms, their space is extremely overcrowded and does not allow adequate space for the students. The Solution We will be funding the construction of a new classroom for the school. The new room will help alleviate the overcrowding and give the students and staff some breathing room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1762549749412-3ILQZ3E600XQZHDP0CXE/AlphaClassroom03.jpg Projects - Alpha Classroom Project The Alpha School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1762549750552-NGQ9TR8QRLQLAY0HUSDU/AlphaClassroom10.jpg Projects - Alpha Classroom Project Site work begins https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1762549750522-IHM2WR1TPWGASR6ARG31/AlphaClassroom20.jpg Projects - Alpha Classroom Project New holes are dug to prepare for the footings of the new foundation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1762549749544-ZOUJ156ZA99F4I1QWUS0/AlphaClassroom22.jpg Projects - Alpha Classroom Project Formwork is beginning to take shape as the new foundation is prepared. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/ayyermalai-sanitation-project monthly 0.5 2025-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1762962944430-Y1UAP5NFVXPQBXRHTDLB/Ayyermalai-Sanitation-06-768x353.jpg Projects - Ayyermalai Sanitation Project The Problem At the Ayyermalai Government School in India, there are over 500 students. For many years the school had no available toilet facility for the boys who are attending the school, only the girl students.

Nearly two hundred people died of Covid taking away the breadwinners and leaving many families in severe hardship. Those working in farming were severely affected by the lockdown and are still struggling to return to normalcy. For local families already living in poverty and dependent on tourism or migrant workers whose jobs abroad have been lost, the effects have been devastating. The Solution We will be funding the construction of 15 greenhouses that will be built for these vulnerable families. Through a training program, they will be provided with the knowledge and skills to successfully grow a wide variety of vegetables. This will allow them to become more self-sufficient and less dependent on expensive, imported food. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1762547292743-NXS43F4KVSEGLK3JGOIA/White-and-Red-Round-Fitness-Logo.png Projects - Nepal Greenhouse Project When we started The Project Solution in 2009 we could never have imagined how much change we could make in communities around the world.

Not having any ventilation system causes smoke to accumulate in the home causing eye and respiratory issues. It is often women and children who suffer the most from this situation. In addition to the smoke issues, these stoves are very inefficient and require a lot of wood. The need for a lot of wood results in deforestation problems which in turn causes regional flooding. The Solution Ten new fuel efficient stoves will be built for local families. The new stoves will be built with local labor and installed with the help of the families that will use them. As part of the project, families will be educated on the proper use of the new stoves and their maintenance. The new stoves use up to 60% less wood than a traditional open fire stove and are properly vented to prevent any build up of smoke inside the home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1762545975849-OJ3Q7MMN8ZGDIRTHSJIE/SanLorenzoStoves-02.jpg Projects - San Lorenzo Stove Project Example of a typical stove that is currently being used by local families https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1762545975847-2MFNI5YV3M1R170Z9STP/SanLorenzoStoves-14.jpeg Projects - San Lorenzo Stove Project Local workers preparing the form for the new cement stove to be installed in one of the homes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1762545976878-LM8H4TJX2J4NCH3611SA/SanLorenzoStoves-17.jpeg Projects - San Lorenzo Stove Project The stove form takes shape with fresh cement.

In Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala, wood is traditionally used for cooking. The open fire cooking results in household air pollution, causing respiratory illnesses, heart problems and even death. The Solution We have provided the funds necessary for 20 cookstoves to be built for local families working with the local nonprofit, Tui’k Ruch’Lew. The new stoves greatly reduce the amount of wood fuel needed and drastically cuts down on household air pollution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1762978384940-I1MED17E61441D4HZF8E/Cookstove-Project-12.jpg Projects - Clean Cooking Stove Project Staff from Tui’k Ruch’Lew make visits to all the homes where they will be installing new stoves.

These stoves require large amounts of wood and are poorly ventilated causing heavy smoke to cloud the home resulting in unsafe health conditions for the mothers and families. In addition, because of the need for a lot of wood for these stoves, the countryside has vast areas of deforestation, which leads to soil erosion and flooding. The Solution We provided the funding to have several highly efficient cookstoves built for families. The construction of the stoves used local labor and materials and were built on site in several homes. The stoves burn with very little wood and have a ventilation stack to keep the air quality safe in the home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763396608666-PUFW6UVNM582GIMLBH4D/LaMontanita-Posoli_Before.jpg Projects - La Montañita – Posolí Stove Project Current conditions of a typical stove at a family home in the rural countryside. These stoves are little more than an area for an open fire with no proper ventilation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763396640308-5TH64PFAQ75W7JJDSZK7/LaMontanita-Posoli_InProgress.jpg Projects - La Montañita – Posolí Stove Project Wood forms are used along with metal rebar to provide structure to the fresh concrete pour that will ultimately create the finished stove structure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763396665159-ON3OAVPUE8UF4DQVM4ZC/LaMontanita-Posoli_Recipient.jpg Projects - La Montañita – Posolí Stove Project A finished stove in use in one of the local homes.

This particular community includes 30 families who have become isolated from their neighbors due to the fact that they are living with HIV/AIDS. The targeted families and their children are not allowed to access public toilets due to regional stigma and discrimination of those who are infected with the disease. The Solution Working with the charity SEEDS Trust, we are providing a grant to fund the construction of new toilet facilities for this marginalized community, providing dignity and respect to the local people. Once completed, the new facilities will reduce the risk of communicable diseases and offer the members of the community a much improved life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763399104247-DYI57LBUOYXVZ5IUN1RA/Ayyalur-071718.jpg Projects - Ayyalur Sanitation Project Members of the local community met with the staff from SEEDS Trust to hold a preliminary discussion about the project and to make preparations for construction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763399162169-DUK1H3OJ386W13QHAWFH/Ayyalur_082518A.jpg Projects - Ayyalur Sanitation Project The first steps being taken for the construction on the pit latrines is the excavation of dug well holes and bricked https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763399162156-ZR56K2DCZUH3JKEFODWK/Ayyalur_082518B.jpg Projects - Ayyalur Sanitation Project Each of the latrines will have cinderblock walls to divide up the individual, private toilet spaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763399350310-LR165E60D2JZ0HRL3PKC/Ayyalur-Lakshmi.jpg Projects - Ayyalur Sanitation Project Now complete, this project includes individual toilet facilities for 20 families in the community of Ayyalur in Tamul Nadu, India. Some of the family members in this area are affected by HIV/AIDS and are often stigmatized by surrounding villages. With the new facilities, these families now have access to a decent and clean private toilet (as opposed to using an open field). This is a vast improvement in their quality of life and socio-economic status. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/talise-water-tank-project monthly 0.5 2025-11-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/d2e75e6f-b020-4160-abf7-6d5b5e8c9776/TaliseComplete-2.jpg Projects - Talise Water Tank Project The Problem Like many schools located on the island of North Sulawesi, The Talise School had no access to safe drinking water at their school. This common problem stems from the fact that local ground water has very high concentrations of salt. The Solution This project funded the construction of a series of cistern tank at the local elementary school to serve students, staff, and the surrounding community. The finished tanks hold up to 9000 liters of water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/2a115120-7b43-4b99-8a48-9abb403d2c99/Talise071018.jpg Projects - Talise Water Tank Project The local volunteers working with Learn to Live work at building out the structure that will house the water tanks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763397389913-VH3O0OI0XT7QPIADG3FJ/Talise-TankInstall.jpg Projects - Talise Water Tank Project One of the new water tanks being installed.

At break, the students have water here, can take water from here, and do not have to go home. Before, students had to go home to get water to drink. They had to take one break to go home to drink water every day. It was disruptive for the school lesson.” – Linda Sjenny Lenzun S.P.D., 48, Teacher https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/likupang-water-tanks monthly 0.5 2025-11-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/4c1ea4af-e544-4a71-97ec-e4118a005b06/Likupang-Hero.jpg Projects - Likupang Water Tanks The Problem The Likupang School sits alongside the ocean in a slum area with no access to any clean drinking water for the students or staff. The Solution This project included the installation of rainwater catchment tanks that have a filtration system in them to provide a safe source of water for the students at the school and their families. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763410079930-GCH89L4HLNUZOC1E3W0E/Likupang-081317.jpg Projects - Likupang Water Tanks The staff from Learn to Live has put together another team of volunteers who have traveled to Indonesia to begin work on a new water project, working at the Likupang School on the island of North Sulawesi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763410124749-2HFAZ3X4RWT4XH4CVIY8/Likupang-090117.jpg Projects - Likupang Water Tanks Shown is an image of one of the layers of material, which is used as part of the filtration process inside the tanks. Various layers of natural materials allow for the water to be purified and safe for drinking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763410174707-ZKZC3E5M7SQR6X402VE0/Likupang-110317.jpg Projects - Likupang Water Tanks This is our third project that we have completed on the island of North Sulawesi in Indonesia. These water filtration systems are life-changing projects to the communities where they are being installed. Our project partner, Learn to Live, tells us of some of the benefits that will come from the completion of these projects: “The water systems will provide a working example of how to collect and clean rainwater for the community school children, and for the school children to re-create a version of the model at home so they can provide water for their families. This project also contributes to the reduction in the amount of pollution in the community by providing reusable water bottles to all the school children so that they may refill them using the water system.” https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/kabale-sanitation monthly 0.5 2025-11-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/5b1f9188-e996-4c46-b964-66ec3bf2f65e/Kabale-Hero.jpg Projects - Kabale Sanitation The Problem Rukundo International was constructing a new community center and school in the Kabale region of Uganda. The main building opened as a community center and will later transition to a school in early 2018, welcoming its first class of 75 students. They had funding for the school, but they had no funding for toilet facilities. The Solution We provided the funds for the construction of a new toilet facility that is now serving 500 people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763411321032-J3NIJ1AOYMOAGSIRME6Y/Kabale-051817.jpg Projects - Kabale Sanitation Having access to a proper sanitation facility at schools is a major issue in many developing countries. Projects like this can greatly reduce the potential for disease and sickness while ensuring a safe and hygienic facility for both students and staff. The image shown is the main building that will house the community center and school. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763411366942-HGEL6ZBUBDQKP5YRDFQN/Kabale-070117.jpg Projects - Kabale Sanitation The construction crew at the Kabale Community Center and School have been busy laying down the foundation and building up the main structure of the sanitation facility. With work well underway, we expect one final update from Uganda as this project finishes up and the new sanitation facility begins serving the students and local community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/5b1f9188-e996-4c46-b964-66ec3bf2f65e/Kabale-Hero.jpg Projects - Kabale Sanitation The ground crews in Kabale have worked hard to finish up the new toilet facility despite dealing with heavy seasonal rainfall. Having a proper facility for the community center & school is important in reducing the risk of illness that is all too common where there are not adequate sanitation options. We would like to thank everyone who helped support this project. Rukundo International extends their gratitude in being able to complete the construction of this critical component to the scope of work at their new site. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/hospital-water-system monthly 0.5 2025-11-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1fc45de5-39dd-44c1-8791-ab620986035c/HospitalWater-Hero.jpg Projects - Hospital Water System The Problem Collaborating with Aatmiya and Citta, we worked with the Community Hospital of Sitalpati, located in the Sindhuli district of Nepal. This brand new hospital facility will serve a region of 10 villages and 50,000 people. When the hospital construction was close to completion, they still needed a water treatment facility that could provide safe water throughout the hospital for both medical procedures and general use. The Solution In this area of the country the hospital is able to access well water, but requires a system to store and distribute treated water that is safe to use within the hospital. We provided the necessary funding to install an underground cistern, as well as a high-grade filtration system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763415334428-NA2E95LB3A0ZUSIIX7AO/HospitalWater-041617.jpg Projects - Hospital Water System Local workers have already dug out the site where the new cistern will be built up for water storage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763415383096-ZD54T44MDO1GR4ECBCXA/HospitalWater-070117.jpg Projects - Hospital Water System The next phase of the Hospital Water Facility project has been completed with the installation of two above ground PVC tanks. These tanks will be fed by the already completed underground concrete reservoir. The last phase of the project will be the water filtration system which, once installed, will deliver a safe source of water to the newly completed hospital. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763415420527-CM0CE6JSQRKH1A7TNR1H/HospitalWater-082917.jpg Projects - Hospital Water System The staff at the Community Hospital of Sitalpati in Nepal now have their water filtration system installed, completing the project. The system is in full operation and the patients and medical staff are all using a safe source of water for everyday use as well as for daily surgeries. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/nain-water-tanks monthly 0.5 2025-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/7dda7279-6156-46d7-91ac-bcc5d1822f4c/Nain-Hero.jpg Projects - Nain Water Tanks The Problem On the remote island of Nain located in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, access to safe drinking water is difficult to come by. Ground water often has high salt content and locals are forced to pay for water to be brought in by boat. The Solution We funded the installation of two rainwater catchment systems for a school and the local community, which serves over 300 people. For this project, we once again partnered with Learn to Live whose mission is to improve quality of life through healthcare, education, and access to clean water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763476001528-N5YN2KOL7QYZU0057WXV/Nain-071316.jpg Projects - Nain Water Tanks Volunteers transport some of the framework, which will house the water tanks, to the island of Nain. Some complicated logistics required that the frames were built offsite on the mainland and then brought by boat to their final location. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763476049864-ZUCNOWE74IRAYTGBYP87/Nain-090116.jpg Projects - Nain Water Tanks With all of the material transported to Nain, construction is underway for a structure to house the water filtration tanks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763476087433-LNHV7QH0U6V2IAMLA28Q/Nain-113016.jpg Projects - Nain Water Tanks We are happy to share the final site photos of the installed tanks in the village of Nain in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The tanks are now supplying clean water to students at the school, as well as the neighboring community. A ceremony was held with Yanti Turang, founder of Learn to Live, who joined with the chiefs to present the water systems to each village. Since many of the children had attended the informational class the day before, they were very excited about the presentation and to try some of the water from the tanks. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/deurali-sanitation monthly 0.5 2025-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/c5e2f4a3-3d8a-468d-942e-7cada5797d1e/Deurali-Hero.jpg Projects - Deurali Sanitation The Problem Many buildings suffered extensive damage during the 2015 earthquakes, including several school outbuildings in the Deurali Village Development Community of Nepal’s Gorkha district. The Solution Working with the NGO International Disaster Volunteers, we funded the reconstruction of toilet and hand-washing facilities for nearly 500 students at two school locations in the region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763476756898-XI2P7G7PEAFNCXEH22AQ/Deurali-030316.jpg Projects - Deurali Sanitation Work is getting underway at the Shree Balkori school, located in the rural village of Ratmatee. We are building new toilet cubicles to provide more facilities and also to ensure that students of both genders, as well as staff, can enjoy some privacy. We are also providing hand washing facilities to help keep staff and students alike healthy and happy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763476788138-KP9KGC771DVLDLBQMBXN/Deurali-032916.jpg Projects - Deurali Sanitation Framing for the new facility is in place.

Construction went quickly despite the need to hand carry nearly all of the required material directly to the site. To reach this project location, the IDV team informed us: “To get there from Kathmandu, one must first take a 5-hr bus to Gorkha Bajar, then take another 3-hr bus to Deurali. From Deurali, it is another 2- to 3-hr hike to Shree Balkori” Local volunteers, school staff, and even students all pitched in to finish up the construction of the new toilet facilities. Over 100 students and staff now have access to the finished facility, a vast improvement from prior conditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763476877977-6R5Z6XMXLK1PM1G582HB/Deurali-092216.jpg Projects - Deurali Sanitation Work has begun at our second location, the Santa Krishna School. For this location, volunteers are rehabilitating an existing facility that had become damaged and unusable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763477036806-LMEX1UV8IA8KD3LNXWV4/Deurali-113016.jpeg Projects - Deurali Sanitation The final installation for the Deurali Sanitation Project was implemented at the Shree Santa Krishna School, located just outside the town of Bhaktapur. This was another location that suffered badly with damaged buildings due to the earthquake, leaving the school with damaged classrooms and an unusable toilet facility. The team from IDV (International Disaster Volunteers) has been able to restore the facilities with repairs to the pipes, drainage and water supply. Volunteer labor restored the structure and even spruced it up with a brand new paint job. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/githurai-kimbo-water-tank monthly 0.5 2025-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/5a0deb30-bd16-43ec-93cc-c69916d91639/Githurai-Hero.jpg Projects - Githurai Kimbo Water Tank The Problem This particular region of Kenya has water pumped to the community only twice per week. The local school had no storage tanks and was unable to have water available to its 1800 students. The Solution Collaborating with the Fountain Youth Initiative, we provided the funding for the installation of a 5000 liter tank at the Githurai Kimbo Primary School. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763477638576-7ICDSYIO9DUB2QLFXB0R/Githurai-110315.jpg Projects - Githurai Kimbo Water Tank This particular region has water pumped to the community only twice per week. The local school has no storage tanks and are therefore unable to have water available to its 1800 students. The donation team for this project will be providing the crucial funding needed to have a new tank installed along with a hand washing station to provide clean water to the school community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763477637782-WWRV3JF8J3R7QNF7QEEM/Githurai-111915.jpg Projects - Githurai Kimbo Water Tank The students at the Githurai Kimbo Primary School are excited to have their new water tank onsite and they are getting ready for it to be installed. The new 5000 liter tank will provide clean water for all the students at the school. A new hand washing station will also be installed. The team from the Fountain Youth Initiative are hoping to have everything ready before the Christmas holiday. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763477712055-82JA2JTLKUCRHS3F5OYZ/Githurai-012916.jpg Projects - Githurai Kimbo Water Tank The staff of Fountain Youth Initiative have officially handed over the finished water tank to the school administration, and the students are thrilled to have an onsite source of water available to them. The Githurai Kimbo project is now serving over 1800 students and will continue to do so for years to come. Thanks to Lilian Nyakio and the Fountain Youth Initiative team for managing the project and to all of the donors for their support. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/biosand-filters monthly 0.5 2025-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/85a91b21-b3af-4113-b8ae-962b293566ca/Biosand-Hero.jpg Projects - Biosand Filters The Problem Many of the local subsistence farmers who live in the rural countryside of Nicaragua often find themselves without easy access to a safe water source in their home. The Solution Collaborating with the NGO El Porvenir, we provided the necessary funds to build small biosand filtration systems in several homes in the region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763479706742-GTTWVWJK6J8GD7BSXD65/Biosand-112515.jpg Projects - Biosand Filters The filter systems are built using layered sand, gravel and charcoal in order to filter out impurities from stream or rain water. Essentially, this is a simplified version of what our planet does naturally to recharge deep aquifers and well water! The team members of El Porvenir work with the families to provide education on the use and maintenance of the system, in order to ensure they will continue to have clean water in their homes. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/jose-marti-sanitation monthly 0.5 2025-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/a640cb00-694a-4a6e-a05a-f8387a25161d/JoseMarti-Hero.jpg Projects - Jose Marti Sanitation The Problem Throughout Nicaragua, 63% of rural Nicaraguans lack access to adequate sanitation. This issue is often prevalent in many of the rural schools where there are no facilities to speak of. The Solution Working with the NGO El Porvenir, we funded the construction of a new toilet facility for the students and staff at the Jose Marti School. In addition, the school provided an ongoing instructional program on the importance of good hygiene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763478471609-2VZ4ZJZNC0URA0S7YO4Y/JoseMarti-060415.jpg Projects - Jose Marti Sanitation The second graders at the Bradford School have just completed another successful Waterthon event! For the fourth year in a row, the second grade students have been learning about the water cycle, the importance of water and how access to clean water is different for people around the world. The funds they raise this year will be used to build a new toilet facility at the Jose Marti School in Nicaragua. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763478508796-1WPJCFW0WOG0WGGASD6M/JoseMarti-082515.jpg Projects - Jose Marti Sanitation The students at the Jose Marti School in Nicaragua are thrilled to have their new toilet facility finished and ready for the new school year. The facility will serve not only the students, but the teachers and staff at the school. “Before, we went to the field, even the teachers.

The Solution The Donation Team for this project funded the construction of a new toilet facility and a hand washing station. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763480949300-8OK42T8I5NXO1BZS8B8L/Kajwenge-033115.jpg Projects - Kajwenge Sanitation Our latest project is getting underway at the Kajwenge Primary School in Luhwahwa Village located in Western Uganda. There are existing toilets that have been left in disrepair and are in unusable condition. The Donation Team for this project will be funding the construction of a new toilet facility and a hand washing station. Collaborating with Luhwahwa Youth Development Foundation (LUYODEFO), this local NGO has been doing positive community work in this region since 2000. The new facilities will be serving over 400 students and LUYODEFO will be incorporating an education component to this project to help foster good hygiene and the long term health of the students. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763480996526-S82IL91LV9OUX7POS411/Kajwenge-041415.jpg Projects - Kajwenge Sanitation The ground team at the Kajwenge Primary School wasted no time in getting work started for the new toilet and hand washing station. A ten foot hole was dug out for the base septic tank and all the brick work has been built up. Through a combination of local community support and hired labor, the first stage is complete and construction is scheduled to move forward toward completion before the rainy season gets underway in the region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763481031854-8XYONU655TB9ZBT2LPOR/Kajwenge-052615.jpg Projects - Kajwenge Sanitation The new toilet facility is nearly complete on the Kajwenge Sanitation project in Uganda. Local workers have put in a lot of work onsite to get the new structure built to this stage. The last phase will include the installation of a water storage tank and building of a hand washing station to go along with the facility. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763481066589-4ADV2M7FD7NCJRM8HS5O/Kajwenge-081015.jpg Projects - Kajwenge Sanitation The new toilet facility and hand washing station in the village of Luhwahwa is finished and already in use. The last phase of the project included the installation of a gravity fed water tank and a mural competition was held to design artwork for the exterior of the building. This project will serve over 400 students at the school.

Specific to this project, classroom chalkboards are typically either crumbling completely worn beyond use. The Solution Our grant allowed five local schools in the Buea region to each receive three new chalkboards for their classrooms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763480216243-XJFOIKUDINWTYWXEPWFX/Buea-010815.jpg Projects - Buea Chalkboard In the southwestern region of Cameroon, we are working with the local NGO Social Development International (SODEIT) to provide funding toward improving classroom conditions. The grant will allow five local schools in the Buea region to each receive three new chalkboards for their classrooms. Currently they have chalkboards that are either crumbling completely worn beyond use. Having a good chalkboard is an essential tool for teachers who are providing an education to their students. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763480264744-OW4BDIPBYQUYL6J2WYX6/Buea-031615.jpg Projects - Buea Chalkboard The Buea Chalkboard Project has finished up in Southwestern Cameroon with the installation of new chalkboards across five classrooms. Having good quality chalkboards in the classroom are an essential part of providing a proper education to the students. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/makindu-water-tank monthly 0.5 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/3592cb54-ad00-45cb-9e4a-e032a8db6bbd/Makindu-Hero.jpg Projects - Makindu Water Tank The Problem Like many rural schools, The Kansas College School in Makindu, Uganda had no local water source for its 300 students and staff. The Solution The funds raised for this project resulted in the installation of a new rainwater catchment tank for the students and staff. The tank is situated within a brick frame for both stability and security. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763560051116-5ZKFF0PJIGM2TVWN60SI/Makindu-102914.jpg Projects - Makindu Water Tank Work is already underway at the Kansas College School in Makindu, Uganda. The new water tank will provide clean water to nearly 300 students at the school. Prior to issuing this grant, the school had no local source of water available to them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763560109022-Q9DYYY63UG9JTSFIUBBC/Makindu-120414.jpg Projects - Makindu Water Tank The new tank has arrived at the Kansas College School in Makindu, Uganda. Several members of the local community were on hand to help unload the large tank and roll it into place for final installation. Once secured, water lines will be run for rainwater catchment and the tank will be in use by students and staff. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763560108979-IN6O05AK7DBS9Z8QP6LQ/Makindu-122914.jpg Projects - Makindu Water Tank The finished water tank has been installed at the Kansas College School in Makindu Uganda. A ceremony was held for the official “tank give away” by the staff of Mission for Community Development (MCODE) with students and school officials. The tank is now providing water for over 300 students. Many thanks to the donation team members who provided the funding for this project. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/odisha-school-sanitation monthly 0.5 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/5bf32c59-40dd-480c-95d5-226b1ba3c530/OdishaSanitation-Hero.jpg Projects - Odisha School Sanitation The Problem The Jonathan Scheffer High School is located in the village of Juanga in the state of Odisha, India. With over 150 students, this school has no toilet facility of any kind. Sanitation is a major problem in rural schools throughout India. Beyond the obvious health issues that this brings by having to use the open field, there is also the stigma for teenagers of being out in the open. The Solution Having previously funded a similar project for the local primary school, we helped fund a new toilet facility for the high school. The finished project has a brick construction with separate boys and girls facility and water for hand washing. The structure also has a separate septic tank. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763563222569-UK8QGCBHUPQQ05WZQ8JG/OdishaSanitation-062313.jpg Projects - Odisha School Sanitation We are returning to the village of Juanga in Odisha (formerly Orissa), India to collaborate again with our friends at the nonprofit organization Citta. In 2011, we funded the construction of a toilet facility for the local primary school that previously had nothing available to them. Upon completion, the school incorporated a health and hygiene program for the students. There were plans for construction of a similar facility for the nearby high school and the preliminary work had been started, but unfortunately funding ran short and they were unable to finish the construction. We are happy to be returning to help support a second school with the construction of a much-needed toilet facility for the older students. The design and construction will be very similar to the first project completed at the primary school. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763563267677-UFQI9D8JS81HUFGQ1BGI/OdishaSanitation-082113.jpg Projects - Odisha School Sanitation Local laborers are making good progress as the building begins to take shape. The finished building will have a girls and boys portion and water for hand washing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763563328793-CS5MS0HI88LNEMD5Z7MV/OdishaSanitation-091613.jpg Projects - Odisha School Sanitation The walls of the new sanitation project are taking shape as work continues on this important project. Despite having heavy rains, construction has been moving forward and is getting closer to being completed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763563821897-KF4IAVSQ30P3NV72INK9/OdishaSanitation-121713.jpg Projects - Odisha School Sanitation The physical structure is up with a new roof and only needs some last resurfacing of the exterior and paint to be finished and ready for use by the students at the school. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763564082632-X523ME1WJ5ITTFJ53CA0/OdishaSanitation-052114.jpg Projects - Odisha School Sanitation With a fresh coat of cement plaster and a new roof, the toilets being built at the High School in Juanga, India are nearly done. Getting some skilled labor on board for this work took longer than anticipated, but by the looks of things, the project will be done soon. Sanitation is a critical need in many parts of the world and it is through projects like these that we are making a vast improvement to young lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763564123686-BH2CCP7XDYSZOC5EZ9FF/OdishaSanitation-091614.jpg Projects - Odisha School Sanitation Our second sanitation project in the village of Juanga, India is complete. A private donor provided the necessary funds for the construction of a toilet facility at the local High School which serves nearly 200 students, but had no sanitation facilities at all prior to our intervention. A few years back we funded a facility at the primary school in the same village. Good sanitation is a major issue in many parts of the world and being able to provide projects like this makes a major impact on health related issues. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/ibal-acha-water monthly 0.5 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/30a02c08-6041-4673-99be-e6102ff7d1db/IbalAchaWater-HeroV2.png Projects - Ibal-Acha Water The Problem The Ibal-Acha School, located in the Belo region of Cameroon, serves nearly 300 students, but it had no local water source. Students and staff either had to bring water to school with them or go without water all day. The Solution Working with RUDEC (Rural Development Center), we provided the necessary funding to run pipes from a nearby water source to create a new stanchion at the school so students and staff can have access to water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763562724346-G15SKAA7YY7JEQ9GXYEP/IbalAchaWater-052714.jpg Projects - Ibal-Acha Water The second graders of the Bradford School in New Jersey held their third Waterthon event in May 2014. This year the money raised will be going to the Ibal-Acha School in Cameroon where there is currently no water source available for the students. A newly constructed water tap will be built and once completed, will provide clean water for hand washing and drinking. Thanks again to Marcie Chanin who created and organized the event, the parents who volunteered for the day, the staff of the Bradford School for their continued support and the kids who did all the walking and fundraising! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763562646461-X8W3VO4L3AT0CCUP4AY4/IbalAchaWater-081114_a.jpg Projects - Ibal-Acha Water Several members of the local community joined together to provide the manpower toward a new water tap being installed at the Ibal-Acha School in Cameroon. Trenches were dug and pipes were installed so that all the students at the school will be able to have clean water available to them come the new school year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763562646460-0GJABVOSKELG6VEKBX7K/IbalAchaWater-081114_b.jpg Projects - Ibal-Acha Water Prior to this effort, the school had no onsite water source at all. The new water tap will be a huge improvement for the students and staff. The Project Solution is once again working with Joshua Chiamba and RUDEC to coordinate all the work with the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763562647432-75WLA72NPSSGQVNIC42E/IbalAchaWater-082114.jpg Projects - Ibal-Acha Water The new water tap at the Ibal-Acha School in Cameroon is finishing up as the community volunteers and local labor prepare to get the water flowing. As school gets underway, all the students and staff will now have a source of clean water available to them. Our thanks go out to all those who gave their time to help support the school and to RUDEC for managing the project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/a9826fef-9a83-4381-96b5-3b0ff4bec5d5/IbalAchaWater-Hero.jpg Projects - Ibal-Acha Water The new tap is up and running at the Ibal-Acha School in Cameroon just in time for the start of the new school year. One of the students at the school said, “We had a surprise in our school when we came back from holidays. We shall have water to clean our classes, drink and it will stop students from going out of school to fetch water.” https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/limi-valley-sanitation monthly 0.5 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/305b1ad1-82fd-4841-a248-a4854816920f/Limi-Hero.jpg Projects - Limi Valley Sanitation The Problem Situated in a very remote region of the Limi Valley, three village schools were in desperate need of support for some time. Thanks to the nonprofit Citta, the students receive much-needed assistance. One ongoing problem that they have faced for some time was the lack of any type of sanitation facility for the students at the schools. Being in such a remote region, acquiring the supplies was very difficult. The Solution Working with the Citta team, we funded the purchasing of the needed supplies and transporting supplies to the region for construction. The finished facilities are simple, dry stone construction with a septic tank. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763569440566-0GICR8L80CTEA7WRXZFA/Limi050112.jpg Projects - Limi Valley Sanitation We are happy to announce our second partnership with the nonprofit Citta. Citta has recently been working to help three schools located in the Limi Valley in Nepal. The region is quite remote and the schools are situated in a trans-Himalayan valley. They have several major needs, but at the forefront is the importance of a bathroom for the students. We will be providing the funding to construct a bathroom facility similar to some of our past projects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763569486360-EQJ2Y1DZIO9N52FJD35B/Limi122212_a.jpg Projects - Limi Valley Sanitation Joe just returned to the U.S. after a trip to Nepal and India to check in on some of the projects we’re doing in that area. While in Nepal he met with staff from Citta, the local nonprofit that we are collaborating with for the Nepal Bathroom Project. Back in September, team members from Citta had traveled to the school sites in the Limi Valley where our project will be done. The schools are extremely remote and involves a four day WALK to a height of 4000 meters in order to reach them. Luckily, Joe did not have to make this journey! Due to the logistics for this project, it will likely be Spring of 2013 before work is fully completed. The end result will be a simple toilet facility at three different schools in these small villages where the children currently have nothing. The toilets will be constructed using local materials (such as dry stone construction and a basic septic tank) as there is no easy way to get other types of materials to this location. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763569486383-RYEE857BYAU0PHT7S25M/Limi122212_b.jpg Projects - Limi Valley Sanitation Shown here are images of the three schools where the toilets will be built. This is an exciting project for us, working in a very remote region of the world and it is possible through the generosity of our Donation Team funding this project! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763569541259-EP1CD359AGS2RP0K1C5M/Limi070214.jpg Projects - Limi Valley Sanitation Our Nepal Sanitation Project was one of the most logistically complicated projects we’ve attempted, but thanks to the dedicated efforts of the team from Citta, work is nearly complete. This endeavor includes the construction of toilets for two different schools located in the remote Limi Valley of Northern Nepal. Work had begun over a year ago when an avalanche buried the school site and everything had to start over again. Citta founder Michael Daube made a recent trek to the site and reported back with some amazing photographs of the nearly finished project. The Halji School has their completed toilet as shown above and the Zang School project is nearly complete. Many thanks to the Donation Team for making this project a success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/305b1ad1-82fd-4841-a248-a4854816920f/Limi-Hero.jpg Projects - Limi Valley Sanitation The completed construction. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/fuel-efficient-stoves monthly 0.5 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/9878a607-2c2f-473e-8304-47c2f0705b2d/Stoves-Hero.jpg Projects - Fuel Efficient Stoves The Problem In the Nicaraguan countryside, families with little means have often lived with very inefficient stoves in their homes. These stoves require large amounts of wood and are poorly ventilated causing heavy smoke to cloud the home resulting in unsafe health conditions for the mothers and families. In addition, because of the need for a lot of wood for these stoves, the countryside has vast areas of deforestation, which leads to soil erosion and flooding. The Solution We provided the funding to have several highly efficient cookstoves built for families. The construction of the stoves used local labor and materials and were built on site in several homes. The stoves burn with very little wood and have a ventilation stack to keep the air quality safe in the home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763567616691-CM7AQ9G5WWGELV9QEXMC/Stoves100112.jpg Projects - Fuel Efficient Stoves This project has a three fold effect on the local region. 1. Families typically use inefficient stoves in their homes to prepare all of their meals. The stoves use a large abundance of wood and have limited or no ventilation. This causes major health issues for all the members of the family, especially the mothers. 2. With all the families needing large quantities of wood, this has caused extensive deforestation in Nicaragua. 3. The less forests means heavier flooding in the region as the ground is not taking in as much water without the trees. This project will be funding new highly efficient stoves to be installed in the local homes of multiple families. The stoves use much less wood and offer a safely ventilated exhaust to keep the home clear of toxic smoke. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763567672211-747WK8MKC5NPN5OCV2AM/Stoves111612a.jpg Projects - Fuel Efficient Stoves The families who will be a part of the Stove Project in Nicaragua have been identified and work on the new stoves will begin soon. The images shown are a few of the family members who will be receiving the new stoves for their homes. Work has begun on making the new stoves and we will share further updates as the stoves are installed and ready to use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763567672257-1D9ZRC6VBPS8SGJWH57H/Stoves111612b.jpg Projects - Fuel Efficient Stoves A second local family who will be receiving a new stove. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763567792765-3QWIP818Z8B3CFRDISV2/Stoves122612a.jpg Projects - Fuel Efficient Stoves El Porvenir, the local NGO in Nicaragua, have sent us some new photographs as work continues in the local communities. Locally sourced materials and labor are delivered to the community where the stoves are being installed. The new stoves are built on site in the homes and provide a welcome change to the lives of families who were previously using stoves that consumed a large amount of wood and had little or no ventilation of the smoke. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763567792756-F42L9IJP7965YKK8IGEC/Stoves122612b.jpg Projects - Fuel Efficient Stoves As work continues, another group of stoves will be installed in additional homes in the region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763567880276-THU1TYASOA1LPN83HIQS/Stoves041013a.jpg Projects - Fuel Efficient Stoves We received our final report from the NGO El Porvenir who ran the Stove Project in Terrabona Nicaragua and all of the families now have their new stoves installed. The project created a simple solution to a problem that faces many families in Nicaragua and in other rural communities around the world. Properly designed and vented stoves provide high efficiency in burning wood which means less wood is needed, and smoke is pulled out of the home through a ventilation stack. The images shown here include just a few of the families who benefit from having the new stoves installed in their homes. Look on the walls and you’ll see our logo alongside a maintenance information sheet provided by El Porvenir to ensure the stoves are kept up by the owners. The stoves will provide countless wonderful meals for everyone! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763567880199-PDSXR0022VAZBRM9RE0Q/Stoves041013b.jpg Projects - Fuel Efficient Stoves “You all have brought me a great blessing.

The doctor had prohibited me from being around smoke, and now I have achieved that. My health is better. I wouldn’t change this stove for anything.” – Doña Blanca Rosa Soza Torres http://theprojectsolution.org/app/uploads/2018/01/Stoves041013c.jpg “I feel relief because I cook calmly, without smoke choking me. My children are able to be close by when I’m cooking, and it doesn’t harm them. How happy I feel.” – Doña Amparo Carmela Hernández https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763568020558-WO02BZCTTY9DOFV39BJ7/Stoves121613.jpg Projects - Fuel Efficient Stoves During the week of December 5th, co-founder Joe Gonzalez traveled to Nicaragua to meet with the team of El Porvenir. Joe visited several families in the Terrabona region outside of the capital city of Managua. The new stoves that we funded have made a big change in the lives of the women who use them on a daily basis. The stoves use less wood, provide a larger cooking surface and most importantly, are properly vented to allow harmful smoke to vent out of the home. Having had the chance to see the stoves first-hand and meet with the people who are using them gives a real sense of accomplishment. The families are so grateful to have the stoves in their homes and relish the change it has made. One woman called it “a gift” that has been given to her, and others commented that friends who visit want to know how they can get one also. The design of the stoves are simple, they use local materials and are built on-site with local labor. This project addressed a major health issue by eliminating the toxic smoke that used to fill the homes during cooking. Deforestation was addressed by having stoves that utilize much less wood during use. Finally, El Porvenir runs a reforestation program with the families that received the stoves and having more trees helps address flooding problems that were an issue in the region. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/youth-center monthly 0.5 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/06b8b2d3-e4b6-461c-94e2-04098b4bd457/YouthCenter-Hero.jpg Projects - Shauri Yako Youth Center The Problem In the Shauri Yako slums of Kenya, educational programs, support services and even having a general location for community gatherings are limited. The Shauri Yako Community Center was a safe haven and valuable resource for thousands of local people to use for many years. Unfortunately, the years of heavy use and general erosion from the weather left the facility in unsafe conditions and was at risk of shutting down. The Solution We provided critical funds required to have the old facility removed and a new facility was built on the same site. The new construction used stone and mortar to ensure years of longevity. The finished center is of huge importance to the local community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763564615610-50FKI2O3ZJCPZ2JNNY1J/YouthCenter031113.jpg Projects - Shauri Yako Youth Center We are collaborating with The Shauri Yako Community Youth Support Centre located in Kenya. The center is located in one of the local slums and has been serving as a drop-in center, educational facility and community center for over 10 years. The building itself was built with lumber and metal sheeting and has become physically unstable after years of use. With the funding we are providing they will be using a new stone construction to create a more secure facility and continue serving the local community. The center serves 5400 people annually. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763564615667-0WDUQ88W8H48KQYTT37K/YouthCenter032613a.jpg Projects - Shauri Yako Youth Center Work is underway at the Shauri Yako Community Youth Support Centre in Kenya. The old structure has been removed and a new foundation is being prepared. The new building will come next as stone arrives to create the walls. The chairman of SYSC Joe Mwai, had this to say about the project, “Thanks to your generosity, we are now well on our way to rebuilding our facility to make it safe and stable. Since receiving your first donation in mid-February, we have dismantled the structure of our old centre. It was constructed of timber and iron-sheeting, and was in very poor shape due to wear and erosion. We procured the supplies needed to lay new foundation, including sand, ballast and stones, and retained a mason and three labourers for the construction work. We are happy to report that we have now completed the underground foundation walls that will support the building. The next step is to set the house, fill in the remaining part of the floors and construct new walls.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763564616570-3FX9Q1HQ96WNVVCN2BFC/YouthCenter032613b.jpg Projects - Shauri Yako Youth Center We are looking forward to seeing more of the structure get built as the work continues. Having this center available to the local community is extremely important as it serves multiple needs ranging from safe haven to an outlet for educating and empowering individuals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763564616863-LAMIKHB5WZMDAU5XFYEC/YouthCenter042213.jpg Projects - Shauri Yako Youth Center The walls are nearly finished at the Youth Center in Kenya. The local masons have been working hard to complete their work as the new Youth Center takes shape. The next phase of the construction will include framing and installing a new roof, as well as putting in the doors and windows. For all of the people in the area who participate in the various programs offered by the center, this is a welcome improvement to the structure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763564721821-O9X6Z18MIBTCCY8YFX24/YouthCenter051013.jpg Projects - Shauri Yako Youth Center All the walls are up and the preparation for a new roof is underway in Kenya. The construction team has been making great progress in getting the new building finished, and it won’t be long before members of the local community will return to take part in all of the important programming that the Shauri Yako Community Youth Support Centre offers. Serving over 5,000 people per year, the center is a hub of activity and events and having a new space will be a huge improvement over the previous building that was become unsafe for continued use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763564780929-RFC2F2U80NX3EAQZ8X7T/YouthCenter060313.jpg Projects - Shauri Yako Youth Center The roof has been installed over the Youth Center in Kenya. This project will finish up once the doors and windows have been installed. All of the local community will gain continued access to the programming that this important facility offers throughout the year. Great work by all the locals who handled the construction and to the everyone at the SYSC Team for managing a great non-profit for the people of Kenya. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763564817508-SMSW7G2OV5F6KRC8Y0WW/YouthCenter071913.jpg Projects - Shauri Yako Youth Center The Shauri Yako Youth Centre is now complete and already being used by local residents in Kenya. The image of the finished structure shows the vast improvement from the unsafe structure they were previously using. The program Chair Joe Mwai, had this to say “Your generous support will enable us to continue providing support and creating development opportunities for the greatly underprivileged people in Shauri Yako. The youth here are very excited about SYSC’s new home and eagerly await the chance to participate in future programs. Thanks to your help, we are feeling positive, excited and renewed about the work we are doing through SYSC.” https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/solar-water-pump monthly 0.5 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/a4d70376-4d4e-4b53-afab-644051076be3/Solar-Hero.jpg Projects - Solar Water Pump The Problem In the village of Mangraul, over 500 residents have to travel to get access to water. This requires time and energy that could be better used with family and their local economy. The Solution Local NGO, Haritika has already created a well for the water and our funding includes the purchase and installation of solar panels to power a water pump for bringing up the water and distributing it into the homes of the locals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763566484744-J2S4AY6GSWNJMZUCGNTO/Solar120213.jpg Projects - Solar Water Pump Work will soon be underway for our ninth project, in another collaboration with the NGO Haritika. In many rural villages throughout India, having easy access to clean water can sometimes be difficult. Haritika provides water solutions to many villages through irrigation, dam and well projects. In the village of Mangraul, over five hundred residents have to travel to get access to water. Haritika has already created a well for the water, and our funding will allow the addition of solar panels to power a water pump for bringing up the water and distributing it into the homes of the locals. The image shown here is an example of a larger solar station that Haritika is using to bring in water for other villages. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763566540771-VECDDCREI104H0CLPS22/Solar040513a.jpg Projects - Solar Water Pump Our Solar Panels have been installed in the village of Sagunia located in India. The team from Haritika have been busy collaborating with the local community and installing the new panels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763566540771-AOWSH8EMR2F8NV8XENMM/Solar040513b.jpg Projects - Solar Water Pump Once everything is completely online, the panels will be running a pump to bring up water and distribute it into the homes of the local villagers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763566609649-9E59LXJ5B0OWLAPM5MS0/Solar041713.jpg Projects - Solar Water Pump Now that the solar panels are up, electricity is being generated to run the water pump and deliver water directly into the homes of local villagers. One of the best parts of this project is that it is delivering water to the individual homes and not just to the village. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763566609711-BRLJMODZ8C3YF2SFOCRG/Solar041713b.jpg Projects - Solar Water Pump We all think of the simplicity of having water available at the sink in our house, but for many people it involves walking somewhere to access it. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/juanga-chalkboards monthly 0.5 2025-11-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/394d17df-8f56-4859-996c-885a44d439c1/JuangaChalkboards-123012.jpg Projects - Juanga Chalkboards The Problem Located in the small rural village of Juanga, the local school had chalkboards that were damaged and nearly unusable, making teaching that much more difficult for the staff. The Solution Under our 10-Cent Project Solution program, we collaborated with the Joseph Bressinger School in New Jersey and the Shuang Wen School in New York City to raise the funds necessary for the installation of new chalkboards for the school. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/394d17df-8f56-4859-996c-885a44d439c1/JuangaChalkboards-123012.jpg Projects - Juanga Chalkboards Six new chalkboards were purchased and installed at the local high school (grades 5-10) in the village of Juanga located in Odisha, India. Previously, the classrooms had a painted surface that would easily deteriorate in a short time from general use and weather conditions. The new chalkboards are more durable and provides the teachers with a proper surface for teaching the students. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/kitagyenda-water-tank monthly 0.5 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/cb9e0f75-1031-4796-9634-8724802538ad/Kitagyenda-HeroV2.jpg Projects - Kitagyenda Water Tank The Problem Keeping students in school and providing them with good nutrition are two issues facing students in Uganda. The Kitagyenda School has no regular water source for the 500 students at the school. The Solution We provided the funding to install a rainwater catchment tank with filters to be used for both clean drinking water and for the preparation of the morning porridge for breakfast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763568561790-F0I2S3KAMHBSLO82DFKT/Kitagyenda050912.jpg Projects - Kitagyenda Water Tank Joe spoke to three second grade classes at The Bradford School who will be helping raise funds for a water tank project in Uganda. The Bradford School students have stepped up to help fund a third water tank – this one at the Kitagyenda Primary School. The students have been learning about the importance of water in our world including the water cycle, water pollution and water scarcity. To culminate their lessons, they will be partaking in a Water-Thon to help raise money for the water tank project. The students will be walking short laps while carrying a one gallon jug of water and get sponsors to support them for every lap they walk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763568682132-YHKZ2M1NPY2XI67COINH/Kitagyenda082212.jpg Projects - Kitagyenda Water Tank Pictured is the Kitagyenda School in Uganda where a new water tank will soon be installed thanks to the fundraising efforts of the second graders at The Bradford School in New Jersey. School will be starting soon and so will the setup for the new tank!

While the structure has been prepared, they did not have the available funds to install a finished roof on the building. The Solution Under our 10-Cent Project Solution program, the sixth through eighth graders at I.S. 218 in New York City have raised the funds needed for the roofing material so that the new classroom can be completed and put into use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763401703920-IQ7KVAP9ZS96REUTDXXB/NjinikejemRoof-042412a.jpg Projects - Njinikejem Roof The students of I.S.218 in New York presented a check to Joe for $800.00 as part of their fundraiser this year for The 10-Cent Project Solution program. Many thanks go out to the Student Government at I.S.218 who helped organize the fundraising efforts over the last few months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763401741703-89GG82NOHCVWWUHM9U6H/NjinikejemRoof-042412b.jpg Projects - Njinikejem Roof One hundred percent of the money will be going to Cameroon to help the Njinikejem School with some roofing they need for a new classroom space that they are currently working on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763401800472-9HJ60DBYY6RHY2I75RL3/NjinikejemRoof-051612a.jpg Projects - Njinikejem Roof After some heavy rains, the roof is getting framed up to prepare for the metal roofing materials. More classroom space with a new roof means a safe and dry area for education to continue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763401800426-9FDVYXMMP4UOKAKCL6P4/NjinikejemRoof-051612b.jpg Projects - Njinikejem Roof Some of the local students are pitching in to help put up the new roof over their classroom at the Njinikejem School. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/518ae052-3ac5-4295-94b7-395ea3f490c9/NjinikejemRoof-060512.jpg Projects - Njinikejem Roof The finished roofing material has been added to the new classroom at the Njinikejem School in Cameroon. The enclosed classroom should be in use for the upcoming school year now that it can keep the students safe from the elements.

The Mpambara-Cox Foundation works to address these issues through their 10:30am Porridge Program. This is a school feeding program that provides a daily meal to children served at 10:30am, Monday through Friday. The focus is on providing nutrition and giving the children an incentive to come to school and to maintain regular attendance. The porridge is prepared and served at government aided schools located in rural locations where most families live on less than $1 a day. The Solution We provided the funding to install two water tanks with filters to be used for both clean drinking water and for the preparation of the porridge. The tanks were installed in the Kasinde and Nymiyaga Schools in Uganda. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763570645488-72V8GNWSUB63557J6SDP/WaterFeeding021412.jpg Projects - Water Tank – Feeding Program Our partner organization, the Mpambara-Cox Foundation sent us a photograph from the Kasinde Primary School in Uganda where one of the water tanks will be installed. Shown in the photo above are some of the children who will benefit from having the water tanks installed to be used for their daily food program. The children are standing on the approximate spot of their future water tank. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763570686357-4E7ZRLA7SL1YOWT0XWUQ/WaterFeeding030512_a.jpg Projects - Water Tank – Feeding Program The first water tank has been installed at the Kasinde Primary School in Uganda!

This issue often impacts both water and sanitation. As with many rural areas of India, lack of sanitation for schools and communities can lead to poor hygiene and cause major health issues for the local residents. The Solution Working in partnership with the NGO Haritika, we funded the construction of a new bathroom facility, which will serve the students at the adjacent school and also help serve local residents in the community. A new facility such as this not only brings dignity to people, but prevents the spread of disease. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763571287494-FJIG0QCE3M6S5X1IKP4I/Bachevra082311.jpg Projects - Bachevra Sanitation Work will soon be starting on our latest project, The Bachevra Water-Sanitation Project. Similar to the work we did on our Orissa Hygiene Project, we are again addressing a critical need in another region in India. On this project we have partnered with the organization Haritika, whose mission is to: work with people whose lives are dominated by extreme poverty, illiteracy, disease and other handicaps. This project will be working under their School Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene Education (SSHE) program. This is a comprehensive and focused program to promote the children’s right to a healthy and clean environment, and outreach to families and communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763571320561-XMPKUICSXDZG5AGGRPAR/Bachevra092611.jpg Projects - Bachevra Sanitation Construction work has begun on our sanitation project in the Uttar Pradesh region of India. Located in the village of Bachevra, we are building new bathroom facilities for the local school and community. The photos here show the groundwork getting started as things slowly take shape toward the finished facility. Addressing sanitation in rural communities throughout India is a pressing need.

This completed project will serve over 250 people in the rural community of Bachevra and make a significant impact on their daily lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763571393414-JLZLYXQEVNBX4ROFYWP0/Bachevra121911_b.jpg Projects - Bachevra Sanitation Many thanks go out to the Donation Team for fully funding the construction of this project! https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/njinikejem-benches monthly 0.5 2025-11-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/ea070033-7223-451f-8c86-7948d6c82932/NjinikejemBench-Final.png Projects - Njinikejem Benches The Problem Overcrowded classrooms is a common problem in many schools throughout Cameroon. At the Njinikejem School, three or four students might find themselves sharing a bench built for two, or in some cases, relegated to sitting on the floor. The Solution Under our 10-Cent Project Solution program, eighth graders at I.S. 218 in New York City raised the funds necessary to build new benches for the students in need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763407769873-F83SJQDTY6FLJAVQZO74/NjinikejemBench-091711.jpg Projects - Njinikejem Benches The new benches have been built and delivered to the school. In addition, they will be getting some new chalkboards soon and have a positive start to the new school year. This is another successful project under The 10-Cent Project Solution program. Many thanks to the 8th Graders at I.S. 218 in New York City who raised the money to fund this project. https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/foyer-dorelph-roof monthly 0.5 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/6dbef690-d271-45d6-858f-fc435f67bb62/Foyer-Hero.jpg Projects - Foyer d’Orelph Roof The Problem Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, European Disaster Volunteers (EDV) has been working on several projects to improve the lives of the local people. One of these projects is with the Foyer d’Orelph Orphanage and School, which serves 53 orphans and is getting ready to provide education to over 100 students at the school. As with any region that has been struck by a natural disaster, the conditions of buildings and infrastructure have been devastated. The classrooms at the school only had a tarp as protection from the elements, and the women who cook there were drenched when it rained. The Solution This project provided a much-needed roof over a classroom and kitchen. In addition, improvements were made to waterproof the interiors and address drainage problems, which have been causing a serious health risk to the children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763572192648-UPW06NKCSORKTY88KDZT/Foyer042211_a.jpg Projects - Foyer d’Orelph Roof Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, EDV has been working on several projects to improve the lives of the local people.

In addition, improvements will be made to waterproof the interiors and address drainage problems which have been causing a serious health risk to the children. Currently the classrooms at the school only have a tarp as protection from the elements. The women who cook are drenched when it rains. Together, we are about to change this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763572296237-9D77EYQSVSTIPCPI4WY2/Foyer050211_a.jpg Projects - Foyer d’Orelph Roof Work has started quickly at the Foyer d’Orelph Roof Project in Haiti. Even the students are getting involved in order to get things done! Timing seemed to be working out very well with this project since the season will soon bring heavier rains and potential hurricanes. Addressing the roof and drainage issues is a high priority right now. Once completed, there will be a new roof over the classroom space, as well as the area where all of the daily cooking is done. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763572296201-N8C5RCLFJ7LNDDL4TQT4/Foyer050211_b.jpg Projects - Foyer d’Orelph Roof In addition to the roofs, better drainage will be implemented and surfaces that are exposed to poor sanitation will be addressed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763572297551-05URE0R7508DR83C1KTP/Foyer051211_a.jpg Projects - Foyer d’Orelph Roof Work continues in Haiti as the roof project makes great strides toward completion. The EDV team members are diligently working to get things ready for the coming rainy season and ensure that the students stay dry under a new roof. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763572369101-FLWAQ879BHXE9TK0X1WX/Foyer060311_a.jpg Projects - Foyer d’Orelph Roof In addition to putting a roof over the classroom and the kitchen area at the Foyer d’Orelph project in Haiti, we are also addressing much-needed drainage issues. The heavy rains bring standing and backed up water due to poor drainage and floors that are not properly finished. The latest development in Haiti is a concrete project over a large floor area to address this issue. The EDV team tells us: “Between the roofs you’ve funded and the drainage system, there is now no standing water at the orphanage when it rains – a great step in preventing cholera and other water borne illnesses.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763572369109-N8GFUWMF0FAS0NBH802F/Foyer060311_b.jpg Projects - Foyer d’Orelph Roof Our Donation Team for this project has helped make a big difference to the children at the orphanage and the students attending the school. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763572370190-3UIH3KJMH3N41DOXGY7I/Foyer061811_a.jpg Projects - Foyer d’Orelph Roof The Foyer d’Orelph Orphanage in Haiti now has its roof and the drainage issues have been resolved. The students are now situated in a safe and dry area to continue their education and have less of a risk of illness now that the area has proper drainage. Finishing this project also means that there is the opportunity for the school to take in more students for the 2011 fall semester. The Project Solution has had a great relationship with EDV throughout the process of getting things completed for the children in Haiti. Their team was great at keeping us updated on the progress and their onsite volunteers worked very fast to finish things up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763572425920-VKIIPR88UUXE0C2ZQMO7/Foyer061811_b.jpg Projects - Foyer d’Orelph Roof The children at the orphanage and school are grateful to our 45 Donation Team members for making this project a reality. Another successful solution has been provided to a community! https://www.theprojectsolution.org/project/orissa-hygiene monthly 0.5 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/6c52648f-0dab-46a7-abec-bfee4b37e95a/OrissaHygiene-Hero.jpg Projects - Orissa Sanitation The Problem In the rural farmlands of the state of Orissa in India, there is very little infrastructure. With no access to toilets of any kind (even in most homes), people are forced to use the open fields. When the heavy rains of the monsoons come, this causes an increase in disease. This situation continues in schools where there are no facilities for any of the students or staff. The Solution Working in partnership with the nonprofit Citta, we funded the construction of a new bathroom facility for the students at the Vivekananda School, home to over 150 primary school students. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763573353499-CP6Y7177PYK57B3GBPC1/Orissa-BeforeImage.jpeg Projects - Orissa Sanitation The Vivekananda School sits in the background and there is currently no toilet facility available for the students. The open land to the right is where construction will begin on the new facility. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763573433171-BGFSMP55AWKT6WBQTKZC/Orissa-Update011011_a.jpg Projects - Orissa Sanitation The team in Orissa India have been busy unloading materials to get the construction started for the facilities at the school. We received this information from the ground team: “Today we have sent you the photograph of bricks being offloaded from a small truck in the toilet construction place at the primary school. We are going to stock 7000 pieces of bricks for construction. We have now 3000 pieces of bricks at the site and going to have the rest in next 2days. We have a plan to build one latrine and 4 urinals for the boys and one latrine and 4 urinals for the girls. All these will be built in one complex and well separated for boys and girls.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763573433168-FGCC2KEDY0GDKAYPI3WU/Orissa011011_b.jpg Projects - Orissa Sanitation This is an important need that the headmaster of the school had been eager to start for some time. With the help of the “Orissa Hygiene Project” Donation Team, we are excited to make this a reality for the students. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763573527499-V8UW0FMJGFROI639ZZ8T/Orissa021711_a.jpg Projects - Orissa Sanitation Work continues in Orissa as the ground team frames out and builds the tank area for the new facilities. The team is making great progress and it won’t be long before things are fully completed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763573527465-8WNPSGB1EBNP2UEXMFAY/Orissa021711_b.jpg Projects - Orissa Sanitation Completed tank structure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1762547292809-DTNBCYW76GIFJG0PQ50F/NepalGreenhouse-72.jpeg Projects - Orissa Sanitation The final greenhouses are in place and ready for use year round. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763573579396-SMJ6Q7T6FDHCM7P55UAN/Orissa031911_a.jpg Projects - Orissa Sanitation It was very exciting to be on site and see the progress being made on our project. Having a bathroom facility for the school is a huge need as the children currently have to run out to a field next to the school (regardless of the weather). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763573579387-90AIROHBSRHWH2JYPOC0/Orissa031911_b.jpg Projects - Orissa Sanitation Looking into the space in the image above, we can start to see the layout. Each side will have one standard “squat toilet” at the back, three urinals and one sink. As is typical in the region, there will be a large holding tank at the back for waste (similar to a cesspool tank that you might find in the U.S.). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763573580457-13V6OFMBJU1H0XR3FAEL/Orissa031911_c.jpg Projects - Orissa Sanitation Here I am not long before my departure from Orissa. The building height is complete and you’ll notice some nice smooth finish plaster work inside on the right side. A roof will be added and everything will be painted. Looking forward to seeing the finished project! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763573736167-78BHFO3MG7Z7HFBI3A0F/Orissa052211_a.jpg Projects - Orissa Sanitation The team in Juanga Village in Orissa have sent us the last photos from the bathroom facility project that we had built. It’s wonderful to see it completed. The finished facility will be an important change for the students and staff at the school.

Limited funding did not allow for access to any technology for the children at the orphanage. The Solution Under our 10-Cent Project Solution program, we partnered with the Alain Locke School in Harlem, New York to raise money for the purchase of computers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763408172313-KOBXE2OFHXQT7YL5EYTB/ComputerEducation-042811.jpg Projects - Computers for Education The Africa Hope Center in Kenya has shared some photos of the students using their computer, which was purchased through funds raised by the Alain Locke School in New York.

Over the years, there have been wells built but not maintained or projects for wells that never materialized. This has forced communities to have to walk great distances for water or worse yet, get water from an unsafe source. The Solution Partnering with the African Community Project, we funded the digging of a new well outside of a school attended by more than 250 children with no access to clean water. Once dug, the well helped provide clean water for the children, as well as the local villagers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763574236954-ISTSI1IA3AZ3K6Z6FEOG/Chisoyo071910.jpg Projects - Chisoyo Well Due to the rainy season, there was a delay to start the well, but now that things are dry again, digging should begin in a few weeks. The well will be dug outside of the classroom shown in the image and provide clean water for the students. The well technician will be heading out to Chisoyo to get work started. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763574275357-3ETF6IQR02HUZZ4IX4ID/Chisoyo083010.jpg Projects - Chisoyo Well We’ve received word that the well technician who has been digging the well has officially hit water. The next step will be the cementing of the top portion of the well. The attached image shows the technician at the well location prior to starting the dig. The final completion of the well will bring a much-needed supply of clean drinking water to the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763574316372-1GVSV72KUQXDEFMWZK56/Chisoyo092710.jpg Projects - Chisoyo Well We received word that the well has been completed and is providing clean drinking water to the students at the school as well as the local community. Thanks to everyone who helped make this project a reality. Mr. Tembo, the well technician, is shown sitting at the edge of his finished work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763574399599-EMS6SXY5FR0WZ0AHZOVH/Chisoyo020111.jpg Projects - Chisoyo Well Our friends in Zambia are making good use of the newly completed well that the Chisoyo Well Donation Team funded. It is always empowering to see images of the completed project and to know that it has changed a community. These are not just images of random strangers.

Residents spent two and a half hours every day traveling to and from the only fresh source of water. The Solution The completion of this project will bring the water to the people of Fuli and allow them to spend more time working and providing in their local village. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763575022436-ULHWPX5R0S6XKYKC8K68/FuliProgress-41.jpg Projects - Fuli Water Project The Fuli Water Project is being overseen by the Rural Development Center (RUDEC), which was started by Chiamba Joshua. RUDEC is involved in grassroots participatory programs and are advocates of rural development in Belo and, in the future, the Boyo Division. Joshua has sent over some new images of the tap being constructed. More pipes and connecting joints will be purchased as we continue the funding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763575060472-PMN6R4XT38YV364ZW6ZG/Tap1complete.jpg Projects - Fuli Water Project The first tap has been completed and there are two more being built approximately 1km apart from each other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690b6318343f132cf81e4d6d/1763575093712-4BUIKORAP7IHO3NXN8ZD/Trench2.jpg Projects - Fuli Water Project Progress continues as the second and third water taps are being worked on.
