Project summary
We built a new kitchen for more than 1,700 children, replacing a deteriorating structure with a safe, efficient, and hygienic space for daily meals.
The old kitchen
For many children at Ng’Wandakw Primary School, the lunch they receive at school is the most reliable meal of their day. But the kitchen where that meal was prepared was falling apart. The walls were deteriorating, cooking over open fires had become unsafe, and every day hundreds of children were exposed to unnecessary risk.
The school needed more than a repair. It needed a new space that could make daily cooking safer, cleaner, and more sustainable — and it needed a solution that the community could build and believe in.
Our help
Rebuilt the kitchen from the ground up
Worked with local materials and local workers
Created a safer and more hygienic cooking space
Continued with improvements to 11 classrooms
The results
The new kitchen now serves more than 1,700 children in a safer and more reliable environment. It also marked the beginning of a wider improvement process across the school.
1,700+ children supported through a safer meal space
40+ local jobs created during construction
11 classrooms later improved as part of the wider renewal

"With more than 1700 children in our school it’s difficult to accommodate everyone, especially when it comes to food."
Thanks to Peak Humanity, children have a new kitchen and classrooms where they can learn without fear.
