Present Project – SEGE SCHOOL!

~ Watch this page for updates on this present project! ~

June 1, 2025:  Setting up a new classroom for the children in Sege! Even while still planning and working on the kindergarten building, there is a great need for teaching space right now. Maria and her loyal team in Accra have come up with a less expensive and speedier solution: a  large storage ‘container’  which can easily be set in place, windows and doorway inserted, and have it planted on a concrete riser.  The container itself is $2,000 USD, and with placement and improvements would come to approximately $5,000.  With your help, this can be done even before she arrives home in October! Here is Maria’s vision and next intention:

“Hello LadyJaye,
I thank God for you and how our hearts are joined in the work for the Lord. You are right we could start with the basement. Although Marlon would prefer I decide where it should stand. Because I want an area where we could still have a lot of space for a playground. But what we could start is getting cement which prices get higher every second.”

(NOTE:  It is about $10 USD to buy a bag of cement, allowing the young men to make the bricks used to build the walls of the school/kindergarten and start building the concrete riser. )

📐 Updated Base Specifications

 • Container base area: 20 ft × 8 ft
 • Concrete platform height: 2.5 ft (to accommodate 3 standard steps)
 • Stair dimensions: 3 steps, each about 10 in deep × 8 in high
(I would want to make three stairs as safety against snakes.)

🧱 Volume of Concrete Required

1. Platform Slab
 • Volume = 20 ft × 8 ft × 2.5 ft = 400 ft³
 • Convert to cubic meters: 400 × 0.0283168 ≈ 11.33 m³
2. Stairs (Approximation)
 • Assume block of approx. 6 ft (W) × 2.5 ft (H) × 2 ft (D) = 30 ft³
 • Convert to cubic meters: 30 × 0.0283168 ≈ 0.85 m³
Total Volume ≈ 11.33 + 0.85 = 12.18 m³

🧮 Material Quantities (per m³)

Material Rate per m³ Total Needed
Cement 7.5 bags 91 bags
Sand 0.5 m³ 6.1 m³
Gravel 0.5 m³ 6.1 m³

💰 Updated Material & Labor Cost (GHS)

Item Quantity Unit Price (GHS) Total (GHS)
Cement (50kg) 91 bags 105 9,555
Sand 6.1 m³ 150 915
Gravel 6.1 m³ 150 915
Labor 160 ft² slab + stairs (est.) = ~250 ft² @ GHS 15
💵 In USD (at 1 USD = 13.5 GHS)
 • 15,135 ÷ 13.5 ≈ $1,121 USD
