July 28, 2013
Tigrai Online - Tigrai, Ethiopia - I. Executive Summary Tigrai Development Association (TDA) as a community based organization has been implementing a number of successful projects especially educational and health care service projects at the grassroots level in partnership with an active financial support of different donor organizations, community members and individuals.
One of these donor community members is UTNA (Union of Tigrians in North America). With the financial support of UTNA, TDA was able to build toilet blocks at Dedebit primary school. Further 100 Combined desks and 10 teachers’ desks were manufactured and provided from UTNA to equip the school with internal facilities, with the overall budget of birr 452,640.00.
Dedebit primary school has currently 778 students, of which 420 (54%) are females. Dedebit Complete Primary school is located in the North Western Zone of Tigrai Region, 73 kms from Shire, the capital of the North Western Zone of Tigrai Region.
The main reason for the intervention of the project was to solve the shortage of toilet and furniture. The school’s toilet problem has been alleviated through the construction with the financial assistance obtained from Union Tigrians in North America (UTNA). Had the project not been implemented, many students of the school would have been forced to use an open -air toilet or would have used the congested old toilets which are currently out of service.
