Saturday 7th August marked the official opening of 3R's Secondary School in Kasokoso. This was the first village to benefit from the 'One Village at a Time' scheme. The opening ceremony was a very well attended event showing great local support for the work of HYT and the school.
Generous donations and support meant that HYT were able to provide the remote village school with: -
- 3 rain water harvest tanks
- A kitchen complete with energy saving stoves
- A well equipped classroom block with science laboratory and library.
- A double pit latrine
- A double shower block
- A school counsellors room
In addition, our team worked along side Johns I & II (the HM and Deputy HM) to drastically improve the whole school environment. The newly named 'Attlee Hall' now provides a cool clean environment for examinations as well as having the potential to be used as a function venue as a fund generator for the school.
The 12 young men from the local village were trained in ISSB block making as well as general construction whilst building the new school facilities. Pictured above after being awarded their certificates, it is hoped that they will go on to use the machines and training provided by HYT to generate income whilst developing the surrounding community.
Inside the new library. With the new solar system students are now able to learn IT skills.
The new classroom, laboratory and library block. One of 3 litter bins can also be seen. This is part of promoting a 'keep your school clean' ethic.
Finishing touches on a rain water harvest tank. The tanks mean that an hour long journey to and from the nearest water source is no longer necessary.
