Project: Kindergarten Construction, Kg Keranaan, Ranau District
Project Managers: Felicity Werret (Flick), Alex Cameron

Kg Keranaan is a small community consisting of about 60 households approximately 40 minutes drive from Ranau. The community have a very active primary school catering to over 60 pupils. Although the kampong already has a Kindergarten which has been running for over 20 years it isn’t adequate for the number of children who attend on a daily basis.

Our project is to construct a new building 30ft by 40ft for the community which will accommodate their growing numbers. The project is sponsored by Nestle and we will be working with the local community as well as a parliamentary representative. KEMAS, a semi government organisation, will then continue to ensure the facility is maintained, including providing trained teachers from the local community.

The community survive by subsistence farming mainly tobacco but also rubber tapping and other produce to earn a small income. The team will live in the community hall and will be fully immersed in the Kadazan Dusun way of life, having the opportunity to see and experience life in a rural village at first hand.
