Construction of six-unit classroom
Project Summary
“Building Brighter Futures” is a project which seeks to provide educational facilities for Salom, a rural community in the Ada West District of the Republic of Ghana. The project seeks to put up a 6-Unit Classroom block with a mini-Library facility to help improve the intellectual capacity and social well-being of children.
The project also seeks to support the self-help development of rural communities and improve the reading skills of children in the Ada West District and inculcate a sense of ownership in project beneficiaries to enhance project sustainability. Our research in other districts indicates that, projects that are given to beneficiaries entirely free are not managed well.
For us at TEKCHILLS Foundation, our model of operation required beneficiary communities to contribute full labor cost of entire project cost with their own community fund. Salom community have been selected for this project because of their willingness and preparedness to contribute the said quota towards solving their problem by shouldering all labor related costs associated with the project.
