Mon National Education Committee was founded by Mi Sar Dar in 1972 with 10 teachers and 150 students. They started with Nursery to Grade-6. Currently, there are 10 teachers and 350 students from Kindergarten to Post-Ten. It is located 1km from Panapaing village, Pee Yee Township.

In this community, students and teachers do not feel safe with water and insufficient water has been created because there is lots of stones and close to stream. The old two wells were ruined by the precipitation of soil. Consequently, students and teachers are facing insufficient water from cooking and drinking. It has been creating a vital problems which harm the students and stave the water that make students unable to attend the school on time. Therefore, the community would like to install a conductive water machine from Feb January to April, 2016 to provide a safe and sufficient for the community.

After the implementation, it will allow the community to have a sufficient and safe water from that machine which can last at least 7 years without needing any repairs. This will encourage students to concentrate more in their lessons.

For implementing this project, we are requesting funds to partially or wholly cover the and 222,050 Baht for the whole project.

Community Background

Mon National Education Committee (MNEC) was founded by Mi Sar Dar in 1972 with 10 teachers and 150 students. They started with Nursery to Grade-6. Later on, they moved to the field nearby stream in May, 1980. It is located 1km from Panapaing village. The school’s mission is to provide specialized trainings and capacity building opportunities to strengthen their nearly students and outside from different ethnicities of students.

Currently, they have 10 teachers and 350 students from Kindergarten to Post-Ten. The school is managed by Mi Dong Malay, the school principal, with the support 10 full-time teachers. Some of the students’ parents are lacked the financial resources to support school fees for their children as they are low-wage earners mainly working daily workers. Moreover, some students in MNEC are unparented students who come from different backgrounds of being orphaned, abandoned or neglected by their parents.

The school have two wells where students fetch the drinking and washing water. Currently, 200 of dorm’s students are using these water for toilets, too. They receive water from these wells 80 litter per day which are also using at school for drinking, washing hands, and toilets.

Mathematics, Science, English and Burmese are among the 6 subjects taught in Mon High School. The students also have extracurricular activities such as dance, painting and football which are conducted after class hours.

The teachers and students run the school themselves by doing fundraising activities such as gardening, raising fish, raising duck and chicken. Currently, there are no donors to support school. In addition, Mon National Party (MNP) provides some medicines once a month for the dorm’s students and some finance for students. According to the headmistress, they received the vegetables from the gardening for cooking and they planted betel net’s plants for supporting school’s stationaries.

Since MNEC was established, they have provided 30,000 of unparented students in 245 in South Eastern Burma. It is including outside students from different villages nearby school with the educational opportunities to construct a better and brighter future. Every year, 90% of students passed the exam with great scores from government school. According to headmistress, around 30 to 40 students remove to the university every year. This is a big achievement for Mon High School (MNEC) and it is what keeps teachers and staff enthusiastic to providing educational opportunities to unparented children and outside children in Mon High school.

Problem Statement

Compassion Water of Life, a safe water system goes to the heart of one of the greatest and most urgent needs in developing countries today. By providing safe drinking water to children and their families, we could save several lives. . It can also harm people by drinking impure water. Though, the unsafe and insufficient water had been created in Mon National Education High School. It has been threatening students’ studies and interrupt the life of students. To overcome this problem, we will install pure water machine with water tanks.

Every year over 10 children are dying because of water which is related diseases such as cholera and typhoid. Approximately, 100 students are suffering sickness, diarrhea and acute stomach pains which illnesses that stop children going to school and growing up into healthy adults. One out of four, students are in serious circumstance and were contingency sent to the Public Hospital in Yee Township.

The area of the campus is 80mx 20m where is including 2 wells in order to use of drinking water. Currently, 495 students has been learning School and they are mostly unparented students among the ages of 5 to 19 from different places in Mon State.

Many rocks around campus which forbid the place not to dig the wells. Consequently, this problem create a vital need for community as they require water to use at school and cooking. Water is mixing with sand, leaves, and tree’s branches so that it constructs unsafety for students and community. Moreover, it is also inadequate for cooking and taking a bath in a day. To solve that issue, they had constructed pipes with filters through high mountains where could receive regular and pure water. However, it doesn’t have an abundant water for students so that they need to take a shower in the stream. According to the head mistress, this condition brought a huge problem which killed 4 students from Grade 4 and 5.

The size of the well is 4mx4m and 30m deep from the surface of the ground. It had dug since 2009, currently the decay of the soil nearby precipitated in well and it had been creating impure water to use. To gather the waste and mud, they hired the carpenters every year because they could not afford to construct with cement and bricks. Moreover, it makes it difficult for community to inquire help form donors because it is 50 miles far away for town. Furthermore, the roads on the ways go through Nyisar are very muddy and slippery so that the trucks could not pass easily during raining season. In particular, they need to across with boats along the stream to go to the town. Those obstacles banned the opportunities of importing the tools which community copes to install the wells.

To provide safe drinking water, protecting a child from life-threatening diseases and allowing children reach their full potential, we are inquiring for funds to install a new pure water machine with tanks between Februarys to March, 2016. This will be able to save students’ lives and their studies in a safe campus and environment that encourages learning. According to community, this is the most suitable solution which could be banned threatening among students and community. A pure water machine with tanks will benefit over 400 of unparented students by improving hygiene and sanitation. If they do not get a sufficient water, these unparented students will not have a chance to continue their studies and be lost their lives in a half way. Within this year, if we could not provide their priority needs, we could not imagine what will happen!

Deliverables

After the completion of the project, MNEC will have a new water machine and a tank. The water machine will have a total size of 20m² with a 500 liter of tank. The building for setting up water machine and tank will be constructed using cement, bricks and wood. Those will take 25m² there the tank will be set up around. Each room has one main door and two windows. The ladder and poles will be constructed using ply wood, and the roof of tank will be built using tin sheets. The foundation of the building of water machine measures 30 m x 8 m and will be dug 3 feet deep with rock, gravel and bricks, then paved with cement. Then, we will connect pipes from the tank to mountains where we get the water.

Beneficiaries

At least 30,000 upcoming MNEC students aged from 5 to 22 years old and 10 teachers between the 2016 – 2023 academic years will benefit the most from this new water machine with tank as it will last for a minimum period of 7 years without needing any repairs. MNEC students who come from migrant, refugee, Burma, Thai-Burma border. They come from backgrounds of being unparented, neglected and abandoned. This project will help students increase their chance of performing at school well academically to develop a brighter future. Moreover, it can also help the 6 organizers of this project, who are Wide Horizons students with proposal writing, project management, critical thinking and communication skills to develop their own communities upon completion of the WH program.

Community Participation

Fifty students and 10 teachers from MNEC cooperated closely with the organizers in the planning of the project. The organizers consulted and involved the teachers in decision-making for every step of the projects such as collecting information about water’s problems, background and their urgent needs. As a result, they determined to install water machine with a tank building by using good quality materials.

The community, especially the headmistress, also helped the organizers not only in setting up machine and tools for the construction, but also in the building plan of the infrastructure. Moreover, the students’ parents will be providing skills during implementation as some are carpenters and have experiences in construction and mechanics. Instead of buying new wood and poles, the community will use from trees that can be used as ploy wood. During the implementation, the headmistress and students’ parents will oversee the construction till it has been completed by staying in the students’ dormitories.

The headmistress will manage the workers and students’ parents in order to make sure they have all the materials they require to complete the building for machine. As a result, they will assist the organizers in writing a report to the donor by giving information about the project. All in all, the organizers and community will recheck every step of the project to ensure all tasks are completed. For project evaluation, organizers will lead a small group discussion with student’s representatives to know how they feel about having the new water machine.

Project Sustainability

This project can benefit more than 30,000 students including upcoming unparented, abandoned, neglected students in MNEC and the building and machine with a tank can last for a minimum period of 7 years without needing any repairs because the building will be built by using good quality materials and machine. If there are any problems, such as a broken roof, they can fix it by themselves as the headmistress, teachers and students’ parents are involved in the construction of the building during project implementation and some parents work in the construction industry.

As the building and machine can be last at least 7 years, the community will not have to spend their own funds for any repair work during these years. It will also improve their safety from students because the students are dying in every year. A conducive water machine and save time for all students and will encourage them to concentrate more than more in their lessons.

Monitoring and Evaluation

By the time the teachers and students’ parents are implementing the project, two organizers will monitor the construction progress. The organizers will interview MNEC headmistress, teachers and selected students’ parents to ensure the building has been completed. The organizers will observe the quality of work and do an inspection again to make sure the building’s and machine’s plan requirements. If there are any problems with the building and machine, we will discuss with the headmistress to perform repair work.

One month after the 2016 – 2017 academic year begins organizers, Kyi Khala and Mu Ku will lead a small group discussion with selected students -10 boys and 10 girls, as class representatives. We will let them share how they feel about the new machine with safe building and comfort in order to have time to concentrate in their lessons. As a result, we will get their feedback on our project from them.

After the project has been completed, 2 organizers will record everything such as the project’s successes and challenges. After that, 2 organizers will write a report to the donor, after getting the information about the project.
