Executive Summary
Hsa Mu Htaw
School was established in 2003. It is located in Kappiband Village, Mae Sot,
Tak province, Thailand. Their mission is to provide unparented and migrant
students with the same education levels as students inside Burma. They also
provide vocational training for students who cannot continue higher education.
They come from different villages in the Thai-Burma border and inside Burma to
continue their education in the school.
There are 47 students and 7 teachers living
in Hsa Mu Htaw School’s dorm. Out of this number, 27 female students and 3
teachers are facing insufficient bathroom and water supply. At the moment, they
have only one bathroom for female students but it is combined with toilet. For
this reason, they have to use the small open-air feet washing place to take a
shower. However, this area has no water tank to store water and the water
pressure is very low. Therefore, each student takes a long time to finish
showering because each student needs to wait for the water to fill their
buckets before taking a shower. Currently, female dorm students have to wait
averagely 30 minutes per-person to take a shower. This is especially a big
problem for 15 female students who study in outside schools such as Hsa Thoo
lei and Thai school, In the evening, they are late 1 hour and 30 minutes for
dinner and also start their study time 1 hour late. (Refer to table 1)
This washing area also has no wall covering
so neighbors are seen peeping at girls showering. This creates many security
and privacy problems as well as schooling problems for those who live in the
dorm. When students take shower, they feel not safe and cannot be on time for
their lessons.
For this reason, we propose to build a brick wall around
the makeshift bathroom and install a water tank with a capacity of 1000 liters
of water with shower sprinklers. After this project, the community will get a new
safe bathroom and sufficient water supply. A water tank will produce good water
pressure and shower sprinklers will ensure students do not waste time filling
up water in their buckets and this will help them reduce the time to shower. They
can maintain the building for at least 5 years because it is built with good
quality materials. Furthermore, during the implementation of the project, the
students, teachers and some of the students’ parents will be involved.
Therefore, if the building has to be fixed again, they can repair it
themselves. In addition, the water tank comes with a 15-year guarantee.
To implement this project, our proposal is seeking 34,539
baht to install a water tank and build a wall for the makeshift bathroom.
Organization Background
Wide Horizons (WH) was set up in
2006 by the Burmese Migrant Worker’s Education Committee and World Education.
It is situated in Mae Sot, Tak province, Thailand. The organization focuses on
young adults from the Thai-Burma border and
inside Burma who are working in community-based organizations. Our mission is
to develop their English, Computer, Community Development and other skills. WH
is two years program - one year is academic year and the other is an internship
in their CBOs.
WH has many partners, namely, World
Education (WE), Burmese Migrant Worker’s Education Committee (BMWEC), Khom Loy
Development Foundation (KLDF) and Room to Grow Foundation (R2G). R2G is the main
funders for student’s community projects of Wide Horizons. There are three main
subjects in Wide Horizons; English, Community Development and Computer. Since
the program started, every year students receive extra trainings to complement
WH’s main curriculum such as
conflict resolution, video shooting, video editing, translation and
interpretation. Moreover, every year students write proposals and implement a
number of community development projects at different migrant schools in the
Mae Sot area. Students implemented a fence project in Elpis School thanks to
the support of Room to Grow.
For the last couple
of years, students and teachers started fundraising parties and organizing
online fundraising campaigns. There are 6 staff members in WH program: a
Program Manager, 2 Coordinators and 3 Teachers who come from different
countries. There are currently 24 students in WH for the 2015/16 academic year
but for student’s community projects, we divided into 4 groups with 6 students
in each group.

Community Background
Hsa Mu Htaw School was established
in 2003 by U Kaung Myat in Unsour Section (Muslin Section). At that time, the school
name was Future Garden. In 2004, the name was changed to Has Mu Htaw. They
moved to Kappibant Village, which is located in Mae Sot, Tak province,
Thailand. The school has 3 missions, which are to improve migrant children’s
education, to get the same education level as students studying inside Burma,
and to assist student finding job who cannot continue their education.
Now, Principal Htet Htet Aung manages the
school with the support of 11 full time teachers and 4 part time teachers. When
the school started, there was only 1 teacher and 26 students. Currently, the
student’s population is 223 students. There are 47 students live in the
dormitory. Among the 47 students, there are 27 female and 20 male students.
Among them, some students are orphaned and some are neglected by their parents.
Moreover, other students are far from their parents because parents live inside
Burma and working in Thai cultivation.
Som Kit is a 14-year-old student in grade 5. His parents died since he was 5 years old. He has
been studying about 8 years in Hsa Mu Htaw School. Currently, he stays at Hsa
Mu Htaw’s dormitory and receives accommodation, food, clothing and an education. He has a dream that he
would like be a good translator and interpreter. In addition, other 47 students
also have different ambition for their life career. The school provide Nursery to grade 6 and the
curriculum is based on Burmese Curriculum. There are 6 subjects, which are
Burmese, Science, Math, Geography, History and English. Moreover, they have
extra curriculum such as art and handicrafts. After students graduate grade 6
from Hsa Mu Htaw School, school support them to continue their education in
Thai School, IDP School and MLC (Migrant Learning Center) such as Hsa Htoo Lei
School. The school’s partners
are Room to Grow (R2G), Burmese Migrant Teachers Association (BMTA), Burmese
Migrant Worker’s Education Committee (BMWEC), and Imagine Thailand.
Currently, the school only has one bathroom that is combined with
the toilet and it is shared between boys and girls students. Moreover, there are
basic facilities like library, office and classrooms.
The school also does fundraising activities such as selling
mushrooms, art and handicrafts. They send handicrafts and drawings to
Netherlands for their fundraising. Hsa Mu Htaw School runs on a full budget of
910,000 per year to pay for utilities, school rent, transportation, personnel
and teaching materials. However, only 67% of this amount is supported by
donors. Therefore, teacher salaries and teaching materials have been reduced by
33% in order to run school regularly. Since the school started, they have
provided educational opportunities to 100 students, including many unparented
students and students who do not have any chance to study because of their
family’s livelihood problems in Burma and Thai- Burma border.
At present, 9 ex-dorm students have finished
grade 11 in Burma and out of these 9
students, 5 students are preparing to attend universities in Burma and the other 4 are working as volunteers in Hsa Mu Htaw
School. Furthermore, currently around 100 students also acquire quality of
primary education from Hsa Mu Htaw School. This is very huge opportunity for
Burmese Migrant students, especially for orphaned and neglected students. In addition,
the teachers and staff are really enthusiastic to help educational prospect to
the underprivileged students.
Problem Statement
In Hsa Mu Htaw School, female students
and teachers who live in the dormitory are facing insufficient bathrooms and
water supply. Currently, there is only 1 female bathroom, and it is used for
toilet and shower. As a result, the small open-air washing place used to clean
feet now serves as a second bathroom.
This washing area has no water tank to store water and the water
pressure is very low. It also does not have any walls. This creates many
security and privacy problems as well as schooling problems for those who live
in the dorm. For these problems to be solved, we propose to install a water
tank and build a brick wall so the feet-washing area can be turned into a
proper shower place for female students and teachers.
There are currently 27 female students and 3 teachers
living in the dorm and all 30 of them have to share 1 bathroom. Students of
average age are 8 to 17 years old. The adult students usually take a bath 2
times per day and the rest of the younger children only bathe one time per day.
The bathroom and toilet are combined, so if someone is using the toilet, other
people who want to take a shower have to wait one by one. Usually, students
take a shower before and after schooling hours which is between 9:00am – 5:00pm
and long queue to shower become very boring. Sometimes the last students to
take a shower is at 8:30pm.
Therefore, the open-aired place used to clean
feet in front of the girl’s dorm has become a makeshift shower place and it has
reduced the waiting time to bathe for 27 female students. Usually, 2 – 3
students use the makeshift shower at the same time. Currently, each student has
to wait averagely 30 minutes to take a shower. However, this is still a big
problem especially for 15 female students who study in outside schools such as
Hsa Thoo lei and Thai school, In the evening, they are late 30 minutes for dinner
and also start their study time 1 hour late. (Refer to table 1) From our research, we identified the reason
why each person takes a long time to shower is because of insufficient water
for showering. Usually water comes from 5:00am to 10:00pm but water pressure is
very low during shower time even during rainy season. Furthermore, there is no
water tank to store the water when they need to use. To shower, each student
needs to fill up their bucket before they can shower. As a result, it takes
about 30 minutes for each student to shower. As a result, only 11 students take
shower in the morning and the rest skip shower to be on time for their school.
In the evening, all students take shower but it causes students to be late for
dinner and their dinner time is at 5:30 pm to 6:00 pm. Normally, about 15
students are late 1 hour 30 minutes for dinner. By the time they arrive for
dinner, the food would run out. Sometimes, water does not come for 5 days so
they have to stay without showering 3 or 4 days and often they have to travel
for about 30 minutes to their teacher’s house for showering.
On top of that, this 4x4 feet makeshift shower place has no
walls for privacy and it is located near the school’s entrance (refer to figure:1). As a result
neighbors can clearly see students showering from their house porch. Furthermore,
male students and teachers who need to walk through the area for work, cannot
pass through when there is someone taking a shower to respect their privacy.
According to a teacher, he saw a man from Pa.oh
organization located next to school peep and took photographs of the girls
showering (refer to figure:2). According to a female grade ten student, she
feels very shy when she takes a shower and runs up to the dorm when she sees
someone coming towards the shower area.
To solve this girl’s bathroom problem, we propose to build a brick wall
around the makeshift bathroom so that students feel secure when they shower and
prevent incidents of people peeping or photographing them.
We also propose to
install a water tank with a capacity of 1000 liters of water with water
sprinklers. Due to the narrow area, the water tank will be elevated above the
bathroom with aluminum poles. If they get a water tank, they will be able to
store 1000 liters water. This will allow them to collect water even when they
are not showering and allow them to have steady water supply whenever they need
to use it. 1000 liters is enough for all female students and teachers to take
shower and will help students be on time for their daily errands. Students can
concentrate more on their lessons.

Deliverables
After this
project, 27 female students and teachers who live in the dormitory of Hsa Mu Htaw
School will get a new water tank (1000 liter) capacity and a fully covered
girl’s bathroom. Firstly, we will install the water tank foundation with 4
pieces of 4 × 4 inches concrete poles that are 5 meters high. Secondly, we will elevate the water tank and
install a slope roof using zinc sheets to cover the bathroom and protect the
water tank from damage caused by sunlight.
As for the bathroom, we will build a wall with
cement and bricks on the left and right side of the bathroom. Each wall is 4 feet wide and 6 feet high. The
entrance to the bathroom will be covered with a 6 feet long plastic shower
curtain hung onto a steel pole. Furthermore, we will assemble 3 shower sprinklers
for the bath placed inside of the bathroom.

Beneficiaries
Twenty-Seven female students and
teachers will benefit the most from this project in 2015-2016. The students are
between 7 to 17 years old living in the Hsa Mu Htaw dorm. They come from
different villages in the Thai -Burma border and inside Burma to get an
education keep their learning. After this project accomplished, they will get a
safe and private bathroom, and sufficient water supply. As a result, when they
take a bath, they can take shower privately and reduce the time they take for
showering. Additionally, they can concentrate better their lesson. Moreover,
they can use this new bathroom and water tank for at least 5 years because it
is built with a good quality construction materials.
Furthermore,
this project will be benefit 6 organizers of this project as they will know how
to write proposals and manage projects. These skills will help them improve
their mother CBOs when they go back to their organizations.
Community Participation
In
this project, 6 organizers cooperated with the community in Hsa Mu Htaw School
for each part of activities. Organizers negotiated with the community and let
them decide on many decisions. Firstly,
organizers collected information to understand about the community’s background
through presentations by 2 teachers. One adult student was also involved with
organizers in observing the dormitory’s conditions. To obtain information about
problems facing the community, we conducted a small group discussion with the
school principal and second headmaster. After we identified their problems, we
prioritized these problems with 5 teachers and 3 adult female students living
in the dorm by using questionnaires. As a result, installing a water tank and
building a wall around the girl’s bathroom was identified as the top problem in
the community.
The
design of the girl’s bathroom building and method of installing the water tank are
based on the community’s agreement. When we buy the materials, we will use the
community’s knowledge and skills. During construction, organizers and the
principal will check each day to know the percentage of work that has been
completed and ensure that the project is going smoothly. Two weeks after this
project, we will interview the school principal and 4 female students to know
how much this project has solved their problems.

Sustainability
This project will benefit the
current 27 female students and 3 female teachers who live in the dorm for many
years after this project is completed. Moreover, upcoming students who will be
living in the dorm will also benefit from this project. After this project is
accomplished, the community can maintain the building for at least five years
because it is built with good quality of materials. Furthermore, during the
implementation of the project, the students, teachers and some of the students’
parents will be involved. Therefore, if the building has to be fixed again,
they can repair it themselves. In addition, the water tank comes with a 15-year
guarantee.
The
project will save the students’ time because they do not need to wait for each other during shower. Moreover, they can concentrate
more on their lessons. In addition, even though there are trees near the
construction of the building, we do not need to cut down it to build the
bathroom and install the water
tank.
Monitoring & Evaluation
During the implementation of this
project, 6 organizers are going to oversee the project daily to monitor the
percentage of building that is completed per day. Moreover, after one week of
project completion, we will divide 2 groups between organizers. Each group has
3 people. One group will interview 5 dorm students and the other group will
distribute questionnaires with all students to know how much time they take to
shower, waiting to shower, and if they can start dinner and homework on time.
We will also ask if the project has made it more convenient and safe and if
they receive sufficient water when they shower.
