About this Project
The Ruhuha Early Childhood Development Center currently serves 220 children under the age of six while their parents are out for work. Without a kitchen, however, the staff are unable to prepare meals for the children, leading some to miss school or endure the school day on empty stomachs. With your donation of $6,000, the community will co-invest $2,700 of their own resources, clear the land adjacent to the school, and construct a 580-square-foot kitchen. Funding will employ local masons to build the structure and purchase stoves, sinks, cookware, and dishes. With nutritious lunches provided at school, the community expects lower absenteeism and stronger student learning.
