Campus Improvements and Repairs Needed
Electrical Upgrade Repair anticipated cost for project is $45,000.00.
Electrical updates and repairs for the girl’s apartments, chapel and convent, administration buildings, and priest residence. These are the final four areas to be done and then the entire campus will have had electrical upgrades completed. This is considered the top priority of the projects at this time.
Roof Repair projected cost is $25,000.
Repairs to the roof of the chapel and convent, administration buildings, and the priest residence are needed. These repairs are due to the age of the buildings and the environment in Lurin, Peru. However, the project has been accelerated as the storms in March 2023 caused leaking in many of the areas scheduled to be repaired. This is considered the second most urgent of the campus projects.
Laundry Area Repairs includes Gas Hot Water Heater Upgrade can be completed for $30,000.
The laundry areas for the boys and girls are for the most part original to the buildings. The work to be done is repair of the cement sinks for clothes washing, the floor drain repair and cement repair and roofs over the washing stations. This project also includes the replacement and upgrade of hot water heaters which will be converted to natural gas and provide Casa Hogar tremendous savings.
