School Refurbishment
4 the World will set up a computer center for communities that have little or no access to computers or create a library for a school without books or resources or feeding center to provide nourishing meals to its students. 4 the World’s education projects can even involve providing safe water for students throughout the year.
|
Since these schools also serve as hurricane shelters our projects provide safety to entire communities during natural disasters. Projects are selected based on the needs defined by our host communities and the various project stakeholders. Projects are executed in collaboration with a cross section of the host community, with project ownership and overall leadership ultimately resting on the community members themselves. Teams of 4 the World Project Coordinators work with our host communities assessing needs, thinking creatively, and setting long-term goals for sustainable development projects.
