Building Hope

By Ashley Palmer | Project Co-Leader

Proposed Library Floor Plan
Proposed Library Floor Plan

It's hard to believe it is already February!

The COCE team has been busy, and the planning and approval process for our community library is underway. We have contracted with Locus Studio Ltd as the architect and lead consultant for our building project. Currently, work is being done to ensure that the site conditions and design are in compliance with local building requirements. Then we can move forward with locating a contractor and getting the construction going.

When we look at this proposed floor plan, we are amazed at the potential this library has to create learning and recreation space for community members of all ages. We hope you will share in our excitement, as none of this would be possible without you. Because of you, we raised $4,784.14 in one-time donations and $2,515.00 from recurring donations here on GlobalGiving. We hope you will continue to support us this year as we work to finish raising the money needed to complete this library!

In addition to planning library construction, we are excited to be building our partnership with Young Scientists Academy, based in Wilmington, NC. We are working together to increase science literacy in Busia County, Kenya, to empower youth there to be community ambassadors and innovators. Be on the lookout for our updates on Facebook and Twitter.
