The Challenges
Our center currently for past five years have no water or electricity.
We currently make use of rain water for toilet use children bring daily bottle water the center also buy water for other cooking needs our cooler boxes is used to keep daily food cool.
Due to this basic need it make our task very difficult to sustain our self and to give children the practical things they need on a daily base like watching educational programs and have running water available this also have effect on our budget and planning as we cannot buy our food in bulk to lower spoilage of food.
we would gladly welcome any help that can help our center to beter our water program that we currently have and make it a beter program.
Our organization need some TLC in some of class Rooms and outdoor area.
