Project Schoolhouse
Water-related diseases remain among the main causes of death in children under 5. (3)
Lack of adequate classroom environments hinder children’s ability to learn.
Poor sanitation is linked to transmission of diseases such as cholera and diarrhea.
WE DO THREE THINGS
We work with communities that have identified both the problems they want to solve and the solutions to fix them. Our purpose is to facilitate projects that have real grassroots support and local buy-in that result in sustainable progress. By tackling education, water, and sanitation issues simultaneously we help communities achieve more complete solutions to complex problems.
CLEAN WATER
Every person has the right to clean, safe water IN THEIR HOMES.
SCHOOLS
Schools are the foundation for a more vital future for a community.
SANITATION
Proper sanitation is necessary for a dignified and healthy life.
WE DO THEM WELL
People are at the heart of what we do. We only work where we've been invited, and only on projects the communities have prioritized.
Community volunteers learn key building skills and are supported in setting up maintenance funds to ensure projects are maintained for the long-run.
Our in-country team guides the design and are experts at overcoming the immense logistical challenges inherent in working in remote regions.
Community members donate all of the labor to make the projects a reality.
