New Estimate of Costs to Build the Schoolhouse

Claire Powell, our partner in Kasama, met with the Ministry of Education last week and learned that the cost of building the new schoolhouse (2 classrooms and an secure administration room to keep valuable supplies and equipment) will be about $24,000, not the $18,000 Claire had quoted us earlier.  The Ministry of Education not only has specific plans for such a schoolhouse but specific payments to contractors, builders, and workers for each stage of construction.  So we definitely will need your help to achieve this goal.
