Boys Dormitories & Ablution Blocks

1 Male Dormitories Renovate & Rebuild

The boy's dormitories consist of three buildings situated to the North East of the school housing 157 students.

The buildings are decrepit and require major renovations. The roofs are rusted, the external walls are timber vertical planks with paint cracked and worn. The water runs off into culverts dug around the buildings and water sits until evaporated providing breading areas for mosquitoes.

The three dormitories are 18.3mtr x 6.3mtr and 1.1mtr off the ground. There are no windows (just storm shutters) and no inside wall cladding.

There is severe overcrowding as one dormitory was completely demolished last year to repair the other three. There are over 50 boys in each dormitory with ages ranging from 13 to 19[1].

Recommendations:

· Replace roof sheeting, insulation and install guttering and stormwater downpipes

· Fill in culverts around buildings

· Paint outside walls

· Replace inside wall cladding

· Install louver fittings and glass windows

· Repair floors and walls

· Supply and install 12volt solar power panel and lighting

· Install veranda 1.8mtrs wide on each building

· Restump where necessary

· Rebuild the toilet block and add showers

· Install rain water tank
