Reconstruction of the Penthakata School

While our school children in Penthakata have been attending school again for a while, the reconstruction of the school grounds is also slowly coming to an end. 

It could have been worse for the Penthakata School. Fortunately, the school building was able to withstand most of the cyclone Fani that struck Odisha in May 2019. Nevertheless, right after the storm, the area had to be cleared of fallen trees and exposed power lines in order to ensure safe school operations. Already at the beginning of the new school year the site was replanted with new trees together with the school children.

The next step was to rehabilitate the power and water lines on the property and repair the windows of the school building. In addition, the walls around the school grounds and the entrance gate had to be reconstructed.

We hope that the soon completion of the key renovation work on the site will bring back normality to the life of the students in Penthakata and allow them to concentrate fully on their education and the foundation for a promising future.

The majority of Indians work in the informal labor market, usually without social security or employment contracts and often under precarious working conditions. Access to the labor market and to fairly paid jobs is marked by glaring inequalities: women in […]
