Christian Center Educate Upgrading
Location: Kosovo, Philippi, Cape Town - January 2015
Project Type: Crèche Upgrading
Project Description: Although the Christian Centre Educare is housed in formal structures, they were in desperate need of repair. Ikhayalami provided extensive repairs and upgrading to the creche's two rooms, kitchen/office, and church. In both rooms, Ikhayalami sanded and varnished the floors. We also stabilized the floor, which was collapisng, and replaced damaged floor planks. Broken windows and doors were replaced or provided with new locking mechanisms. All walls were freshly painted. In the church room, Ikhayalami created and installed partitions to allow for multiple uses of the space.
- Goals:
- Repair and upgrade delapidated, unsafe, or damaged elements of the creche
- Provide a place of safety, health and learning for the vulnerable and disadvantaged children in Kosovo Informal Settlement
- Continue our project of upgrading as many creches in informal settlements in Cape Town as possible
- Impact:
- Repaired and upgraded broken or delapidated structural elements of the creche
- Vastly improved the standard of health for all the children attending the creche
