Restoration of the Toilet Blocks at Mapereka School

In the spring of 2023, Cyclone Freddy caused severe damage to the toilet blocks of our school. In September, members of our association were able to see the damage in person. Of the once numerous toilets, only five were usable for 1200 students.

Fortunately, a complete rebuild was not necessary. We gathered quotes and started the renovation work in October 2023. With 2,485 euros (about 3,976,000 MWK), we were able not only to rebuild the toilets but also to finance doors and paint to spruce them up.

Wilson and James, our local contacts, kept us constantly up to date with messages and pictures. In January 2024, the project was successfully completed. Now the 1200 students once again have fully functional toilets at their disposal.

A heartfelt thank you to all donors! Every euro helped directly.

In the video, you will find impressions and words of thanks from Adrian Mbendera, the deputy principal, and Lucy Makwemba, a student. Lucy emphasizes the importance of the new toilets for health and asks for further support in the form of desks, classrooms, and accommodation for teachers.
