School Construction & Repair Program

Bringing Lessons to Children

H4H's School Construction Program provides opportunity for young children in rural areas to obtain their education in suitable learning environment. In particular, we focuse on rebuilding kindergartens and primary schools so that the children have a solid foundation for entering primary and high school respectively.

The responsibility for ongoing maintenance of the school will be transfered to the local community once classes begin. This project also extends to assisting schools in disrepair and in need of upgrading.
