My community and I have a new project on the Peace Corps website that needs your support. We're raising money to complete the construction of a girls hostel at our school, follow this link to donate. Here's a summary of the project posted on the PC website.
The Girls School Hostel project seeks to provide students at the local secondary school with proper accommodations. In 2010, the school began teaching its first class of students in grade 11. The new students live very far from school and sought accommodation from the school and community. Sixteen girls began living in an unfinished building that the community had started. Unfortunately, there were insufficient funds to finish construction of that building. These girls, not wanting to lose their chance at an education, have turned the unfinished building into a makeshift hostel. The girls sleep just inches above a dirt floor on old mattresses. This living situation is unhealthy and some girls have gotten sick. This project sees to ameliorate this situation by finishing the building that the community started. With Peace Corps Partnership Funds, we will create a girls’ hostel with a proper floor, ceiling, and beds. This will give these dedicated young women a chance to receive a good education.
To everyone who has already donated, thank you very much, your contribution will be put to good use and a good cause. Help spread the word to your friends, family, community organizations, and local bars.
