CURRENT  PROJECT

The Water Project - Part 2

Handwashing station, bathroom facilities, and kitchen will complete the entire water project

BAF's Co-Founder Eric IRADUKUNDA, and Co-Founder Jean Eric BIZIMANA, and the entire staff have worked tirelessly to complete the water project. The clean water capabilities with Part 1 was the completion of the water well, water storage tanks, and rain gutters. Part 2 has been partly funded, the handwashing station is currently being prepared for construction. We pray for the rest of Part 2 funding to be provided to move onto BAF's vision for building the Bright Hills Academy.

each step closer to completed projects is another prayer answered

Handwashing Station and Bar Soap

The handwashing station is fully funded and is being prepared for construction.

The total costs for this portion was $460.00 USD for complete work costs and supplies.

It is so important for their health and safety. The children are playing in the dirt and get quite dirty. Soap is available for bacteria free hands before they eat lunch during Saturday Bible Connect. It is also a place for the village families to clean up.

clean hands are safe hands

Bathroom Facilities for BAF Students and Staff

These facilities provide a clean, safe space for bathroom privacy. The building has already been completed and currently has a drain hole for use. The budget is for urinals and flushing toilets, other supplies including the plumbing, piping, and hired construction fees. Does not include the water fees.

Budget total cost estimated $1,050.00 USD

additional water costs support is always welcome

BAF Kitchen

An additional space was needed for the preparation of food for the weekly Saturday School Connect children. Each Saturday they receive rice, beans, a vegetable, and snacks.

The building costs and supplies needed for cooking include: making bricks, rocks, cement, sand, timbers for the roofing, metal door, and two windows, and metal wall sheeting for construction.

Budget total cost estimated $1,180.00 USD

Additional supplies for cooking include: pots and pans, utensils for eating, and a gas stove with short supply of gas. This would allow them to cook inside. It is a more sustainable way that is cleaner, and faster. The current method has been wood fire that is dangerous for inside cooking and difficult with weather changes and is costly to purchase local wood.

Budget total cost estimated $420.00 USD
