A Better World seeking support to finish Afghan school projects
A Lacombe-based humanitarian organization that makes investments into improving the lives of people in developing countries is looking for your support in completing one of its major projects this year.
Officials with A Better World say their ‘100 Classrooms’ project in Afghanistan is nearing completion with just some finishing touches required to truly finish the job.
The project involves the construction of 10 schools with 10 classrooms each in the northern Afghanistan City of Sheberghan. Eight of these schools are now complete with construction on the last two already underway and scheduled to be complete by later this summer.
However, Project Manager and Founder Azalea Lehndorff says four of the schools still need to be provided with lab equipment, library books and shelves. In addition, she says they would also like to equip Quanchugha Girl’s School with two or three more latrine stalls, all at a cost of roughly $15,000 – $20,000.
