With little more than sticks and stones, the village of Gerambero has gone to great efforts to provide a place for their children to receive an education. Still, their inspiring structure falls short of qualifying as a school where children can learn in a safe, comfortable setting. The lack of clean drinking water leaves children dehydrated and the absence of a safe, private latrine deters parents from sending girls to school. imagine1day is proud to work with the dedicated community of Gerambero to build a new Grade 1-4 primary school which will accommodate 400 children and become the heart and future for this community’s 2,000 inhabitants.

With funding and support from the Lundin for Africa Foundation imagine1day will further its objective to see that all of the communities that it works with will have the financial and human capacity to support themselves when our work together ends. A critical step in creating sustainable projects is to address water scarcity and to design water points that serve both human consumption as well as income generation activities. As part of this project imagine1day will construct eleven water points, train 30 Parent Teacher Associations, create 20 community gardens, plant 40,000 trees, supply hand tools to 20 communities and train 60 teachers to teach life skills such as health, hygiene and agriculture.
