EMI Global School Renovation Project
Estimated Financial Requirements (Renovation-Focused)
Project Overview
The EMI Global School Renovation Project is a targeted, impact-driven initiative aimed at revitalizing existing schools in underprivileged rural and semi-urban communities. Rather than constructing new buildings, this phase of the project focuses on renovation, painting, basic repairs, and the provision of essential learning equipment to create a safe, dignified, and inspiring learning environment for students and teachers.
This renovation-centered approach allows EMI Worldwide and its partners to deliver immediate educational impact with modest financial input, while laying a strong foundation for future expansion and development phases.

- Minor structural repairs (walls, floors, doors, windows)
