Achievements: Completing repairs, painting and minor construction work on the Rajikya Adrash Prathmik Vidyalaya School, such as:
- the painting of the school rooms internally and externally
- the supply of 6 desks
- development of a stone wall at the front of the school
- general maintenance of roof and windows
Impact: An environment that is more conducive to learning is the primary benefit of this project, however it has the secondary and important benefit of instilling a sense of pride in their school for the students which results in better attendance levels.
