Work is progressing very well over at Makwasinyi and already we
have laid the foundations for both the library and the office block and
built the office walls up to lintel level.

Work is now focused on the library walls and this work should be
complete early next week allowing us to complete work on the lintels
of both buildings by the end of the same week.

Albeit a bit later than expected, work has now commenced on the
work at Makwasinyi. Over the past few weeks the community has
been volunteering its time to collect local materials and to level the
ground at the sites of the new builds. Yesterday, Sunday, the first
lorry load of materials arrived (including 200 bags of cement) and
this morning the employed workforce, including the designer, arrived
on-site to mark out the footprints of the library and office builds.
Work has also started on the making of the 800 or so concrete blocks
required for the foundations and on the 6000 plus cement/clay bricks
for the walls. These can be made at a rate of 200 and 600 units per
day respectively so work should be complete by the middle of next
week.



Support this Project:

We are aiming to raise at least $4500: $1500 to fund the furniture
(including bookcases, tables and benches) and $3000 for reading
books.

I would like to support this project...
