School Roof Project

Donating more durable roofs to rural schools

Following our goal to focus on education and empowerment of young Africans, we undertook another school project in May 2005. We donated and installed new metal roofs on two school buildings for the Agborode public school in Agborode, Togo. These rural schools were built by community members, and had traditional straw roofs. While straw roofs are adequate, they must be replaced every two or three years. The donated roof should last 15 years, and the school rooms are brighter.
