Hello donors!
Our Puerta Pulache school is complete! The five classroom building was completed mid-October and was handed over to the community in a fun-filled ceremony. The building was built to withstand earthquakes and flooding, providing a safe space to hundreds of children for years to come.
Yapatera is the location of the new school rebuild, a remote village in the district of Chulucanas. The two building school will hold three classrooms each with WaSH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) facilities for both. In order to maintain the safety of the students and the classrooms a retaining wall is being built to prevent mudslides and landslides. As with our other school build in Puerta Pulache, the buildings are designed to be both earthquake and flood resistant. A total of 147 students are currently enrolled in the school but must study in Temporary Learning Centers because the buildings they once were in are destroyed. The goal is to have the buildings completely finished come the start of 2018 so children will be able to learn in a safe and secure classroom at the beginning of the year.
As always, All Hands and Hearts cannot do the work that we do without support from our generous donors. Please continue to keep up to date with our work around the world.
Thanks!
