COMMUNITY CENTER

HOME VISITS

In January we opened Project Simple's 1st Community Center and started a General Education & Art Program for the children and elderly.  We spend time visiting the homes of each person that is involved in the program to learn we learn more about their needs, culture, and customs. Home visits allow us the chance to participate in day-to-day activities, helping to learn the best ways to keep the Community Center operating. 

Community Programs

The new Community Center has running water, a bathroom, and a separate kitchen. This year we were able to purchase and transport a large commercial propane stove. With one room to host the classes, the other is for dining. We provide clean water, meals, and healthy snacks to 30 people daily. Ten of our students received a scholarships for a year of school (February - December 2023). Five of our scholarship recipients are being trained to help run the after school classes.  These five student teachers have been in our program for the past five years.
