About
Surai Kindergarten is the only pre-school in this village. There are currently 26 students, but many children from the village do not go, due to the poor quality of the school. The majority of villagers here are farmers and laborers. Teachers struggle to provide a good quality of education as the school’s supplies are all old, broken or both. New supplies and painting would reinvigorate this school and promote higher enrolment from local villagers. Supporters Hands of Empowerment and Bobbi have helped to support supplies so far – although we still need to replace the termite infested windows, doors and furniture, as well as more supplies.
Penuktukan Kindergarten
Project Type: Large renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $28,000 USD
Students: 46
About
From a distance you could be forgiven for thinking this school looks ok. However, get close and you’ll see it is close to collapse. Almost all windows have been destroyed by termites. The ceiling is caving in and the school is a clear danger. The building is in such poor condition (and built with such poor materials) that much of it cannot be salvaged for a renovation. We plan to knock this building down, recover what we can and create a wonderful new large kindergarten and preschool. It is a large project that will have a lasting impact on a large kindergarten and a community that desparately needs support.
Kerta Yasa Kindergarten
Project Type: Medium renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $7,100 USD
Students: 26
About
Kerta Yasa Kindergarten has a dedicated community committed to educating it’s 29 students. However, the building is getting worn and needs some repairs such as ceiling fixes and new doors. Most villagers work as laborers or famers, meaning there is not much budget to improve the school. Most importantly, the school has very little in the way of educational supplies. What they have is old and broken. Almost everything is old and worn, including the playground. The school was established in 2009 and uses it’s original supplies. There are 3 teachers who run class from 7.30am – 10.00am, Monday – Thursday.
