Creative House for Children Bathroom Project - Ukraine

Location
Sokal Town, Sokal District, Lvivksa Oblast, Ukraine

Community Description
Sokal is a town of approximately 22,000, located on the banks of the Bug River in the Lviv Oblast of western Ukraine.

The Creative House for Children is an organization that supports activities for youth. Each day they support the creative efforts of 100-180 children through various workshops. Activities include arts and crafts, HIV/AIDS awareness, dance, and outdoor events. Throughout the year the organization offers over 29 different workshops for youth.

While the building is functional, the plumbing system is dated and inadequate to serve the number of children the organization hosts each day. A second floor toilet and sink were damaged when the roof collapsed in 2009.

Project Description
This project is to repair and upgrade the sanitation facilities at The Creative House for Children.

Project funds will be used to replace pipes for waste disposal and to replace the second floor toilet and sink. Two bathrooms will be fully refurbished as funds allow.

The work will be done by local skilled technicians.

Project Impact
200 people will benefit from the project.

Conclusion of Creative House for Children Bathroom Project - Ukraine

This project has been completed under the direction of Peace Corps Volunteer Emily Watson. To read about the beginning of the project, CLICK HERE.

The project was to repair and upgrade the sanitation facilities at The Creative House for Children.

Emily reports:

We completed our most recent water project!

Project funds were matched by a community contribution. Funds were used to employ locally skilled technicians, replace pipes on the first and second floor restrooms, replace the main pipe leading to the sewer system, replace first and second floor sinks and toilets, as well as provide for cosmetic updates such as new paint and tiles. The ceiling of the second floor restroom was also replaced.

The administrators of the youth programs at the Creative House for Children are delighted with the upgrades and especially appreciative of a ceiling that will be structurally sound in time for the upcoming winter. Children and community members with physical disabilities are especially appreciative of better access to the first floor restroom.

We wish to thank Emily for completing this project, and again extend our gratitude to Six Senses Resorts & Spas for providing the funding.
