Project Executive Summary

The new girls dormitory project at Nakpanduri Business Secondary School (N.A.B.S.S.) Will provide housing for 80 female students. A majority of the school’s female population of 120 girls live outside the immediate area and must find accommodation in town during the school year. Some stay in a make-shift building borrowed from the local presbyterian church while others seek shelter with relatives some distance from the school.

Recently, the Presbyterian Church asked the girls to vacate their premises so it can be transformed into a vocational school. It is therefore necessary for N.A.B.S.S. To build a girls dormitory on the school grounds. A new dormitory at the school would fulfill their urgent need for basic accommodation and would offer them a closer, safer, and more educationally supportive option. N.A.B.S.S., the board of governors, and the pta have each already committed 100% of their available resources to begin this project.

We need YOUR help to fund the rest.
