Reconstruction of a kindergarten
Location: Village KADUTU, district NYAKALIBA, KALERE B, RDC
Project leadtime: 3 months
Requestor: JEAN-JACQUES CHISHIBANJI
Description of the project:
The Nyakaliba district is a slum (16495 inhabitants) located on the outskirts of Bukavu. People are workers and fire carriers; the more prosperous have a shop. The majority of the population is illiterate. As a result of the 'wage for education' system, many children end up on the streets because their parents are unable to pay the teachers.
In order to combat illiteracy, the population made available a parcel and built a kindergarten in wood (elementary basis given by 3 volunteers). This school worked for 14 years. In July 2018, a violent fire (of unknown origin) destroyed the school as well as 20 houses around the kindergarten.
To give the children a new chance, the neighbourhood wants to rebuild the school. Unfortunately, the population is poor and the State does not support education for the poor. They would like to rebuild 2 buildings, a desk and latrines (+ interior).
Objectives:
- Rebuild a space for the development of poor children
- Combating illiteracy
- Improve the situation of street children
Beneficiaries: 82 children aged 2,5 to 5 years
Budget: 19.476 €
Risks: none

Follow-up of the project
Date: July 15th, 2019
Name project: Construction project kindergarten school
General status:
The project is progressing well. We are at the level of finishing the paving work, the location of the doors and windows and the sanitary installation (tanks, lavas hands and tanks) and electricity.
Progress since last status report:
There is a lot of progress because the work is 80% complete. By 3 weeks from now, the company will give us the keys of the school. We received € 2,448 for school and office equipment. Next week we plan to place the order at a local carpentry shop to provide us chairs, tables and cabinets. The contract and receipt for manufacturing and delivery of furniture for the school will be sent to you next week.
Financial status:
The balance of the remaining money was paid to the construction company for finishing work, US $ 8,187.34 (see receipt No. 206).
Problems/concerns:
The big worry is the space where we have to put the tanks! It was planned to install 4 tanks with a capacity of 2,500 liters, given the lack of space we asked the company to buy directly 1 tank with a capacity of 10,000 liters.

Follow-up october 2019
Name project: Reconstruction of a kindergarten Bukavu
General status:
Because of a dispute between the construction company and their personnel, the project was on hold. The activities have restarted and will be finalised as soon as possible. Related to the school desks the irregular availability of electricity caused a delay in ordering. We got the commitment they will be delivered before the end of October.
Progress since last status report:
Unsatisfactory! The children still do not use the premises. Instructors and a hygiene officer were appointed but we did not get a view into the appointment notes. As soon as these are available we’ll keep you informed.
Financial status:
All funds, except the 200$ for hygienic material, are consumed.
Problems/concerns:
We face a transport problem related to the water tank to be brought from Burundi; the truck has to find other goods to be transported to Burundi. The agency is contacting clients to collect goods to be transported to Bukavu.
