Building the Canteen
The BCK Nursery and Primary School does not have a clean, safe place where children can eat their meals: this places them at high risk of contracting illnesses. Furthermore, given the Covid-19 emergency it is necessary to build new classrooms in order to respect social distancing. For this reason we have designed a multi-purpose building that has a canteen on the ground floor and 8 new classrooms on the first floor.

Renovating Secondary kitchens and bathrooms with Biotoilets
At BCK Secondary we need to renovate the old kitchens. The traditional wood-burning method will be replaced by a system with low environmental impact: biogas. The use of renewable energy will make it possible to combat deforestation. Students will also be offered specific training on these issues.
