PROJECT

Nechishala Secondary School

Our project is very simple: to build a dormitory for young students so they may have safe access to education. It may seem like a small thing to us, but having a safe place to call “second home” can be nothing short of life‑changing.

Project

Our project is very simple: to build a dormitory for young students so they may have safe access to education. It may seem like a small thing to us, but having a safe place to call “second home” can be nothing short of life‑changing.

Starting Point

Over the past year we have been in contact with local NGOs, liaising with construction companies, and registering the necessary business side of our charity. We are delighted to have the support of European, Australian and Canadian donors that have chosen to believe in our project through funding or provision of supplies.

Community Support

We strongly believe in the development of the communities where we implement our projects. One of our core principles is to move beyond a purely assistive approach. By involving local communities in the project, we aim to create something that becomes self‑sufficient; lasting even after we are gone.

End Result

We will create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for all students. A place that is secure and well‑equipped. And, upon completion, we will have designed an affordable, efficient, and repeatable blueprint. So who knows where we can take it next…

Completed

Girls’ bathrooms

With SiVola, we completed our first major project: a building connected to the dormitory, with running water, toilets, showers and washbasins. A simple project with a profound impact.

Fundraising

Boys’ dormitory

During our visit to celebrate the girls’ bathrooms, one student asked us not to forget the boys. Nine are still sleeping on classroom floors. Remembering them has become our priority.

Boys’ bathrooms

This is our second priority for a simple reason: the bathrooms will connect directly to the boys’ dormitory. The dormitory needs to come first, but we hope to build both together.

Where it all began…

A promise on paper.

The “promise” J wrote to himself when he visited Nechishala Secondary School in 2017 and saw the problem students were facing every single day.
