Project description

The challenge

The roof of the classroom building had deteriorated over time. During the rainy season, water frequently leaked into the classrooms, disrupting lessons and creating an uncomfortable and unsafe learning environment for students and teachers.

Our solution

The renovation involved removing damaged roofing materials, repairing and strengthening the roof structure, and installing new roof sheets. The improved roof now provides reliable protection from rain and heat.

The impact

The classrooms are now safer, drier and better suited for everyday learning. Students can continue their lessons during poor weather and focus on their education without interruptions caused by water entering the classrooms.

Made possible by

We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to our generous donors, Zimmermann Holzbau AG in Klosters, Switzerland, and the Haering family from London, United Kingdom. Their support has helped create safer learning conditions and brighter opportunities for children in rural Cambodia.
