Foundations for teachers houses in progress

Project update van 5 mei 2020 door Mussa Nyirenda


Community of Makonje is excited with the foundation work

The foundations for teachers houses at Makonje are underway despite the usual water challenges. The community is working hard on the construction despite being a small community. The community is also very excited that they will receive another group of volunteers to help them with the construction of teachers houses. They have also received the news about the mechanical drilling of a borehole with a lot of excitement. The plan is to have the borehole drilled before the group comes so that we reduce the water challenges experienced during hosting of the group. The borehole will also solve the challenges of staffing at the school as all the teachers that were posted to the school have since left due to water challenges. The Primary Education Advisor (PEA) has given an assurance that the moment a borehole is drilled teachers will be reposted to the school.
The community is currently working hard to complete the foundations for teachers houses and they believe that their school will be transformed with the construction of the new teachers houses. The community has also been sensitized on the measures to be taken in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19. CCAP engaged Health Surveillance Assistant from The Ministry of Health to sensitize the community. This community however has not registered any cases of COVID-19 so far. Despite the uncertainties surrounding the coming of the group due to the covid-19 the community remains Prayerful that a solution to the pandemic will be found and that the project will take place.
