´Chivabhat´ : a brand new school and women community center !
Some happy, moved and grateful faces on 22 November! The new school building and the women’s centre in Krabi were officially inaugurated on that day. Everyone was present: the children and their parents, the local authorities and the Umicore management.
Children from six surrounding villages come to school here:
With the women’s centre, the Umicare project was the first step towards the economic opening up of the region. In the meantime, a new road was laid with local funds and there are plans to build a tourist resort. The women offer their freshly made crabcakes. In the future, they want to sell these to tourists.
