For the new Dorm
|
|
Bunk beds
These cost 160,000Tsh
(£71)
They are built in Magu using local labour and timber. They are very very substantial and heavy - ideal for children. So far we have thirty - but we need replace some of our older beds
|
|
|
The items below are all made from MDF which has only just started being available in Tanzania. It is hard wearing, ideal for making boxes, tables and benches as it does not shrink, twist or warp. However it is relatively expensive but we think worth it in the long run
|
|
Bedside cabinets 75,000Tsh (£33)
Two children share each cabinet (one shelf each).
So far we have ten of these but we need twenty more.
|
|
|
Storage box 55,000Tsh (£25) These are built on castors and slide under the bed. We aim for one per child.
We already have 30 but need 30 more
|
|
|
Homework table 70,000Tsh (£35).
These fit down the middle of the dorms and will fit 2-3 children either side.
We already have two but would like 10 more
|
|
|
Benches 25,000Tsh (£12.50)
These go with the homework tables (two per table)
We already have 4 but need 20more
