Another S4S Project Completed!!

Two new Ecological Sanitation Latrine Blocks at Atanga SS

Today the S4S engineers visited Atanga SS for the final inspection of two new Ecological Sanitation Latrine Blocks.  Latrines may not sound all that exciting to you guys, but the smiles on the faces of the students who get to use them indicate that these projects mean the world to them!  The completion of this project means that Atanga SS are even closer to their optimum latrine ratio and that S4S are closer to yet another one of their exit targets.  These blocks were completed using funds from your efforts last year, and will have a huge impact on the water and sanitation needs of the Atanga SS community.  By utilising a relatively new and wholly environmentally friendly technology, S4S have built a facility that will last for decades not years,

While one contractor was finishing up with work on the latrines, another contractor has moved onto site for the construction of a new Administration Block.  This new building will be two stories high, with new offices for the Head & Deputy Head Teachers, Bursar, Director of Studies and a huge staffroom on the first floor.  This project is so big the contract for it’s construction has been phased into two parts to make the project manageable for the S4S engineers who are responsible for ensuring the quality of the work is the best possible.  Phase one is due to be completed in Jan 2010; keep an eye on the S4S Blog for future updates on this epic project!
