We're Going to Nicaragua!!

Malcolm Kennedy, International Director, spoke to the Club about our trip to Nicaragua.

Project Overview: The Salomon Elementary School, Ibarra Mayorga, Community of Padre Ramos, El Viejo, Chinandega, Nicaragua accommodates 120 students from kindergarten through to grade 6. Poor sanitation and hygiene adversely affect the health of students and teaching staff. The objective of the project is to improve sanitation and health for about 120 students and the 4-6 combined staff at the school.

Project Detail: The project will install flush toilets and a septic system with hand washing facilities. The pit toilets at the school are in disrepair, and the school lacks any facility for hand washing. The toilets the children use are currently full, the roof is leaking, the walls are falling down and the doors are broken.
