It was also important to Afripanel to ensure that the school was a safe environment for children to study in. The following tasks were therefore also implemented at their own expense:

  1. Auditing all light switches and power outlets in the entire school
  2. Repair of skirting boards and panels in the parts of the school that were not damaged by the storm
  3. Maintenance of the water pump and filter system
  4. Paint works on the entire school
  5. Installation of an electrical fence at the entrance gate - for security reasons

All repair and maintenance works were concluded on 27 November 2016. We would like to thank Afripanel for their excellent and professional work on site.

The following safety measures for the building were developed in collaboration with the school administration:

  1. An on-site member of the community was tasked with informing the school administration of any maintenance issues.
  2. In future, the school will be equipped with security lighting and surveillance cameras, in order to prevent any wilful damages. A security guard was also hired for the school.
  3. The school received a tailor-made insurance package.

We are extremely pleased that the students of the No-Moscow Primary School once again have a satisfactory learning environment which will allow them to continue in their studies.
