Our approach as always is to involve the community to instil a sense of pride and ownership in the project. For this project the villagers will contribute by filling up the land for the school foundation and organizing the school opening ceremony when construction is completed. The school staff and the community will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the new school building. We will select a trusted local contractor to coordinate all phases of construction and to purchase materials as well as to arrange for the required furniture locally. The foreman will be in charge of selecting the construction team and will be responsible for covering all labour costs, transport costs, and construction materials. The contractor will be paid in four instalments based on the construction progress, with 5% of the total cost held back for six months as a guarantee for the quality of the work.
