Chipaj Schools
The village of Chipaj approached United by Friendship during our 2022 trip, asking us to help sponsor repair and/or replacement of existing roofs. We found roofs in every classroom to be in bad shape, with numerous large holes, allowing rain to drip directly into the classrooms. Even without the leaks, the noise of the rain pounding on the roof was very loud, making it difficult for the 250 students to hear the teacher. We decided to take this project on, replacing existing rotted beams, providing new corrugated aluminum roofing and add ceilings in each classroom, providing a safe, comfortable learning environment for the students of Chipaj.
