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.

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
