In 2016, Work for Equality undertook the construction of a safety wall at Zilla Parishad School, Savardari village, to provide a secure environment for children attending the school. The school serves over 215 students from marginalized and tribal communities, many of whom faced safety risks due to unprotected boundaries and open access to surrounding roads and lands.
The initiative aimed to protect children from accidents, stray animals, and unauthorized access while promoting a safe and focused learning environment. Beyond physical security, the project involved awareness sessions with teachers, parents, and students on school safety and hygiene practices, encouraging active community participation.
By collaborating with local authorities, community members, and donors, WE successfully completed the wall, which not only enhanced physical security but also reinforced the value of community-driven infrastructure development. The project showcased the importance of integrating safety, education, and community engagement to support children’s holistic development.
