Water has led to initiate training activities
Education financed by both ABF and Lions DG101. The school is located in Beeli Wacatay. The aim of education is to give the children an opportunity to learn to read and write. Another purpose is that adults are able to read in the evenings. This is called public education.
To make the evening classes possible there are plans on installing solar panels on the roof of the school. Then the villagers have the opportunity to use the school several hours a day.
