School Heating Project - Anglican Missions

School Heating Project

The students of Saviour's School in Jordan deserve an environment to learn in that is safe and healthy.

Appeal launches Feb 22

The environment where a child learns matters.

All students deserve an environment to learn in that is safe, healthy and physically suited to help them thrive.

Many classrooms around the world do not have adequate heating or cooling systems to achieve this. This Lent, partner with us as we make safe and healthy classrooms a reality for Saviour’s School in Zarqa, Jordan.

About Saviour's School

Serving Zarqa since 1955.

Opportunities for all

A school that values people.

Current conditions

Necessary upgrades for a necessary learning environment.

Saviour’s facilities however, do not meet current safety and environmental standards. The aging classrooms are heated by gas stoves (pictured), which run for 8 hours a day during colder seasons. Not only is this inefficient, but the stoves are also potentially dangerous –  the risk of gas leaks or accidental ignition will only get worse as the stoves continue to age. During warmer seasons, there are few options for adequately cooling the classrooms.

Your donation will go towards the installation of 12 new electric heating and cooling systems. Not only will this create a safe and comfortable learning environment for the students, but you’ll be helping the school reduce it’s reliance on outdated and unsafe carbon fuels.

FAQ
