    Electricity is a Necessity at St. Therese Montessori School

    St. Therese Montessori school was the first school that Tek4Kids partnered with in 2011. Providing electricity to the school was a critical part of helping the school become a better learning environment for the students. Prior to the partnership with Tek4Kids, St. Therese did not have electricity, had almost no books for students and no clean water. Students were missing school due to water-borne illnesses and had little interest in learning.

  • Upcoming Projects at Brother Paulin School

    Upcoming Projects at Brother Paulin School

    Tek4Kids has many projects in the pipeline to help improve the situation of Brother Paulin School. Our future projects are based on getting volunteers and donations to help the school. That includes a kitchen and a cafeteria, where the women currently cook with firewood. The smoke created by burning these chunks of wood endangers the health of the cooks as well as the children, not to mention the sanitary standards of the kitchen. We also want to improve the school yard, renovate the old building and add electricity and computers to a classroom.
