GET CLASSROOMS DONE

Location
- Jeffreys bay

- South Africa
Goal summary
The goal of the project is to build two new classrooms (4x8 meters) for the next school year of Victory4All School in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa. With these classrooms we can create an opportunity to give about 60 kids per year a chance to an education and therefore a better future. Also we will be able to employ about 4 more teachers.
Project summary
The government will not let us build more brick constructions on the location, and the existing school is now functioning with more children then actually capable of. That's why we will build two high quality wooden classrooms with insolation, wood treatment and sliding doors. Because these buildings don't require a concrete foundation we will be working within the legal boundaries of the municipality of Jeffreys Bay.
How
The wooden classrooms will be pre-ordered and made at the factory in Uitenhage, South Africa. The pre-manufactured parts will be transported to Jeffreys Bay, where the whole building will be set up in a day by a team of workers from the factory. Also, a container full of classroom furniture will be on its way from the Netherlands. All donations will go directly to building the classrooms, and getting all the facilities. Help us GET IT DONE!
Beneficiaries
- 60
- Each year there will be two classes of 25-30 children making use of these classrooms. Also will we be able to employ about four more teachers.

Why (Project owners drive)
I work a lot with the kids in the township of Jeffrey's Bay, and to see the change that the school has made in these children's lives is very rewarding and inspiring. The thought of having to send kids away or deny them an education is unthinkable for me. That is why I will do anything I can to give these children the opportunity for a better future.
Relation between the project partner (excecution) and the project owner (fundraising)
