The JRDC Update on Security concrete wall with 8 Shops for sustainability. Security concrete wall will enhance safety for students, staff and facility.

Sustainability
This means the ability of a project to maintain its impact and operation over the long term, even after initial funding or external support from donors has ended.
We know that development is a process and we plan to build 8 shops attached to school’s perimeter fence being constructed. This we envision to have the advantage for economic impact by taking into consideration the profitability, job creation, customer engagement and long term financially security for the school.
