- $420 spent. "WATER & SANITATION Grant Amount: $45,765 Direct Beneficiaries: 10,917 individuals (Year 1) Estimated Useful Life of Assets: 20 years The program provided immediate access to safe water and sanitation for 10,917 children and teachers in the first year through the installation of water storage tanks, construction and rehabilitation of wells, and implementation of water filtration systems across underserved schools and communities. In addition, hygiene conditions were improved through the installation of handwashing stations and integration of basic sanitation infrastructure. Based on an estimated 20-year useful life of installed infrastructure, the program is projected to reach over 200,000 cumulative beneficiary uses over time (10,917 individuals annually), significantly expanding long-term impact. The program is designed to ensure reliable, year-round access to clean water in low-resource settings, contributing to measurable reductions in waterborne disease risk and decreasing time spent collecting water. These improvements support increased school attendance and instructional time, particularly benefiting children.
- $251 spent. CONSTRUCTION & INFRASTRUCTURE Grants Total Amount: $27,309 Direct Beneficiaries: 4,461 individuals (Year 1) Estimated Useful Life of Assets: 20 years The program funded the construction and rehabilitation of essential school infrastructure, including classrooms, sanitation facilities (latrines), fencing, and installation of electricity, to create safe, functional, and secure learning environments. Sanitation systems were upgraded to meet basic health and hygiene standards across underserved schools. These improvements provided immediate benefit to 4,461 children in the first year by increasing access to safe learning spaces and adequate sanitation. Based on an estimated 20-year useful life of infrastructure investments, the program is expected to generate over 89,000 cumulative beneficiary uses over time. The program supports increased school capacity to accommodate growing student populations and contributes to improved attendance and learning conditions. Additionally, the infrastructure model establishes replicable standards for school development in low-resource settings.
- $139 spent. WOMEN EMPOWERMENT Grant Amount: $15,122 Direct Beneficiaries: 64 individuals (Year 1) The program provided targeted support to 64 women in the first year through a combination of micro-loans and vocational skills training. Funded initiatives included small-scale income-generating activities (such as poultry farming and retail businesses) and sewing skills training for women, including those who have left formal education. These interventions enabled participants to initiate or expand sustainable livelihoods, increasing their capacity to generate income and meet basic household needs. The program also supported access to menstrual health resources and practical skills that contribute to personal dignity and economic participation. Over time, the program is designed to promote financial independence, improved well-being, and increased economic resilience among participants. By strengthening women's income-generating capacity and skills, the initiative contributes to enhanced household stability and supports the broader role of women as economic contributors within their communities.
