Supported
by
Henkel’s
Make
an
Impact
on
Tomorrow
(MIT)
initiative,
Henkel
Thailand
collaborated
with
the
World
Vision
Foundation
of
Thailand
(WVFT)
on
the
Robust
Infrastructure
for
Safe
and
Quality
Education
project
(Project
RISE),
to
repair
Ban
Huay
Eun
School,
a
rural
primary
school
in
Chiang
Rai
Province.
The
newly
renovated
school
building
for
students
and
teachers
at
Ban
Huay
Eun
School.
The
school,
first
constructed
in
2005,
had
been
facing
severe
structural
issues,
including
the
risk
of
roof
and
ceiling
collapse
in
the
Primary
1
to
Primary
3
classroom
building.
This
instability
caused
leaks
during
heavy
rains,
disrupting
classes
and
forcing
both
students
and
teachers
to
cope
with
wet
conditions.
Through
MIT
funding,
a
budget
of
11,500
euros
was
allocated
to
bring
Project
RISE
to
life,
helping
to
improve
the
school’s
infrastructure
and
create
a
safer
learning
environment
for
a
total
of
273
students
and
staff.
The
project
was
completed
on
August
31,
2024,
transforming
the
learning
environment
in
the
Primary
1
to
Primary
3
classroom
building,
with
an
emphasis
on
sustainability,
durability,
and
child
safety.
The
project
addressed
critical
health
and
safety
concerns
by
fully
repairing
the
roof
and
ceiling,
reducing
the
risk
of
mold
growth,
and
minimizing
slip-and-fall
hazards.
In
addition,
non-toxic
paints
were
applied
both
inside
and
outside
the
building,
uplifting
the
environment,
and
ensuring
safety
for
students
and
staff.
To
support
the
school
with
various
repair
needs,
Henkel
products,
including
Pattex
Fix
Nail
Power
Glue,
were
also
supplied.
“Ban
Huay
Eun
School
would
like
to
thank
WVFT
and
Henkel
Thailand
for
their
generous
support.
Project
RISE
has
not
only
transformed
our
classroom
building
into
a
clean
and
inspiring
learning
environment,
but
it
has
also
kindled
a
renewed
love
for
education
within
our
communities,”
said
Sudarat

Director
of
Ban
Huay
Eun
School.
