With all the dangers of building in
Central Asia, CAI’s partners go to
extra lengths to ensure schools are
built using the latest methods and in
the safest locations. This year, CAI
Tajikistan is building two schools and
three toilets in the remote province
of Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous
Oblast. Check out their progress:
SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION BEGINS
“It is amazing that people are
donating to such remote areas.
They must have a very big heart.
So, thanks for the donors!” Visit the construction site:
No hard hat required. Visit the
construction site and meet some of
the students and teachers who will
benefit from your generous support.

Udit Primary School & Toilet
COMPLETED TOILET
Five classrooms and a toilet
are being constructed for the
children of Udit.
CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS
Construction, estimated to last 6 months,
began in May 2018. Supplies for the project
are transported to the construction site from
Dushanbe, more than 15 hours away.
TOILET BEFORE
Kindergarten #2 Toilet
The rotting wood planks of the
old toilet posed a real danger to
students. Parents raised concerns
that the small children would
fall through the floor and injure
themselves. CAI Tajikistan helped
them build a new, safer toilet.
