Ebwicha Project
EYGC has four acres in the Village of Ebwicha. EYGC has met with numerous members of the local community and it has been agreed upon that what the farming community needs and wants the most is a safe place where the 3,4,5 years olds of the community can spend part of there day learning.
The community of Ebwicha consists of about 210 families and 1,800 people. 100 of those people are ages 3-5. Most families farm to survive and none of the homes have running water or electricity.
What EYGC has:
Property, Community Support, Pupils, Water, heart and soul and a desire.
What EYGC needs for a school to happen:
Fence, buildings, school supplies (chalkboard, books...), Teachers, and a way to pay for everything...
Updates:
2022 Four acres have been purchased in the Village of Ebwicha. A driveway has been made.
2023 Water survey for where we need to drill a borehole (well) and small farming
2024 FINALLY: borehole is drilled, Water tower is up, pump is running via solar power (solar panels on top of the water tower), and water Kiosk in place to provide safe, clean water for the whole community!!! SEE PICTURES in GALLERY
A local Architect has drawn preliminary plans for the SCHOOL!!!!
Next Steps: A Fence and two gates are a must! In order for the water tower and items to be safe a fence is needed. Also farming has been stopped as the neighborhood pigs have been helping themselves.
