Project Goal
To refurbish the cellar of a school in a border village, transforming it into a secure bunker in case of border violence.
Project Background
The village is located in a border region, surrounded by an area of heightened conflict. We have chosen not to disclose the location to ensure the security of the residents involved.
Many homes in the village feature cellars, which serve as temporary shelters during times of danger. However, the cellar at the school is outdated and not suitable for long-term use. It lacks basic amenities such as proper ventilation, toilets, and secure doors, making it unsafe for children and staff if they were to need refuge for extended periods during an emergency.
To protect the children and staff, we aim to renovate the cellar into a fully-equipped, safe bunker. With your support, we can create a secure space for the children to stay in case of danger. The upgraded bunker will be able to accommodate more than 100 people, providing refuge for both the school and the wider community in times of need.
