"SPRING OF HEALING" ACADEMY
2019 – 2026
The story of this school was all about "NO"
Could we pretend it was not happening?
NO! We couldn't!
For us, this was the only acceptable negation in this story, so we did what was necessary so that all the "NO"s would turn into YES, because we knew that it is up to each and one of us, and together, we could be a family for these children and become their support and strength for a better future.
Our Core Goals
Our project is structured on 5 phases that extended on a 7-year period.
Education & Training
Providing quality basic education, training teachers, and supplying proper furniture and school materials.
Health & Hygiene
Educating children about proper hygiene, providing health check-ups, separate restrooms, and immunization.
Community
Engaging the community in school management and creating safe, protective environments for learning and playing.
Sustainability
Creating the conditions necessary for the school complex to self-sustain, including water supply and animal farming.
The Journey (2019 - 2026)
The First Class
Construction of the first class. Providing complete furniture, school uniforms, health services, and a 1-year feeding program with permanent presence on site.
Covid-19 Era
During the covid-19 pandemic, we provided distance support and kept permanently in touch with our friends from the site. The number of supported children doubled.
Massive Expansion
Extension of the old structure into a school with 4 classrooms. Provided complete furniture, blackboards, science learning supplies, refurbished playground, and conducted an authorized hydro geological study.
Clean Water Arrives
From the very first moment it was mandatory to provide clean water. Nowadays, all the village of Mrima has drinkable clean water! Water means life, healthy conditions, working the land, breeding animals, and absolute progress for the entire community.
Self-Sustainability
LIONS plans to create conditions for the school complex to self-sustain without outside help, creating agricultural production and a small animal farm to support the nutrition of the children.
Irrigation Project for Capsicum Cultivation
Lions Emeritus Brașov will support an irrigation system helping the community become completely self-sufficient through agriculture.
