Work in Zanzibar December 2013 / January 2014
Project CHOO: Although our time was limited to five weeks only, 10 more dry toilets were built in the village of Kigunda. For the first time the villagers built the toilets autonomously without any help of a construction company. Therefore it was up to us to buy all the construction material. This was really a challenge, but with help from our co-workers on site we managed. The toilets are finished and since February in use.
For the school in Kigunda 50 desks were timbered. Now at least 100 children are able to sit and write on a desk during class.
Every year more children attend the nursery school in Nungwi, therefore chairs are in great demand. So far we supplied them with 60 chairs and delivered 25 more in January 2014 - we will stay on the ball.
The Nungwi Islamic school raised a request for financial support to complete their school building. Through our contribution the whole plaster work could be finished. This help was much appreciated by the whole village.
Once again we spent exhausting weeks on the island, but thanks to your donations it was a very successful time.
