Follow-up of the project

Date:                    January 28th 2022
 
Name project:       Fencing of the Hands4children centre

Project No.:           117

General status:

All project activities are completed. The fence lessens the chances of malicious people from entering the compound and stray animals wondering around. It has two entering points, the main gate and the small gate at the back, which is locked permanently. The main gate is manned by a guard, staying in the security house, to perfectly control when one goes in or out of the compound.  This fence made the place look like “a complex” including the centre and the school, as one community.
The fence mitigates the risk of incidents of uninvited persons or spectators to the playing fields and provides a safe and secure environment where boys/girls can learn.

Progress since last status report:

To construct the fence we used concrete poles, chain wire or chain link, plain wire and barbed wire. The project is completed and the beneficiaries are getting the service.

Financial status:

All funds are fully used as budgeted.

Problems/concerns:

None
