In the community of Galte Yaguachi, located in the region of Guamote, MEDLIFE is currently planning to construct a new school room which will benefit over 100 children. Currently, due to a lack of infrastructure, classes at the school are given in rented rooms or community spaces. With the help of the local government, MEDLIFE has begun the necessary steps to acquire a donation of land to build on.
However, as a first step to improve the quality of life for these children, we also began the construction of sanitary bathroom facilities. Thanks to the community’s hard work, this bathroom project was recently finished. Before, the children had to walk to the community’s day care center or ask at nearby houses to use the bathroom; now they have proper facilities of their own.
