PROPOSAL FROM ST. LUCY SECONDARY GIRLS SCHOOL

********************************************************************

PROPOSAL FROM ST. LUCY SECONDARY GIRLS SCHOOL

MARY LIETA, PRINCIPAL

3/06/2007

 

St. Lucy’s in Raruowa is a Catholic mission secondary school that helps supplement the government’s efforts to uplift the status of female children. It has a capacity for 320 girls. The school was built in 1972 by the Mill Hill Fathers. The buildings in the parish and church compound have deteriorated over time and badly needs repair.

The most pressing priority are to repair the above ground holding tanks and catchment system. Enrollment has been limited because there is insufficient water. The underground cement cisterns are badly cracked so hold little water. Rain catchment systems on the faculty housing also needs to be replaced.

The second priority is to improve the solar lighting system. Presently, there are only three solar panels which produce 64 watts each. More solar panels and batteries must be installed on the other school buildings to supply light for the whole school.

The third priority are for text books for both students and teachers. Girls who come to this school cannot afford to go to any other school. Their families have difficulty raising money for basic school fees. It would be of great help if they were spared the extra burden of purchasing text books.

Last, is the repair of faculty housing and the two girls dormitories and the installation of good bathrooms and toilets. Attached are estimates for each priority.
