Overall plans:

To achieve our goals, the team conducted a gap analysis (PDF) on the educational condition at Imbaseni. From this, we developed the following plan:

Phase I: Fund raising and cultural tourism program development include:

• raise funds to mend key deficiencies in Imbaseni Primary School's basic infrastructure
• organize the local community to donate land and provide construction labor
• design and develop an Imbaseni cultural tour for foreign tourists to generate self sustaining community funds

Phase II: Infrastructure and facility enhancement and cultural tourism program operations include:

• construct needed classrooms and other facilities on donated or existing land
• improve other major gaps related to quality and accessibility of education
• start cultural tour operations
• develop and implement governance process

Phase III: Sustainability skills development and project ownership transfer include:

• explore and start other social enterprise efforts within the community
• develop and expand vocational training for Imbaseni Primary graduates
• develop local leadership to take full ownership of the project in the community
• develop models and processes to duplicate in other communities
