In the first phase of the project, the primary school received first funding thanks to which it has just been connected to the drinking water network. A 5 m³ tank was built. This first component is accompanied by training in the proper use of water, hygiene and sanitation for students.
Thanks to the support of students at the ISND School, the money raised during the sponsored walk was used primarily to create a school garden, and to organize nutrition classes for teachers and students. In order to accommodate all the students in sustainable premises and ensure the implementation of courses throughout the year, the profits collected were also used to support the construction of a school block of three classes in durable materials.
