A floor for the Sweet Angels School

The Challenge

Since 2005, the pupils at Sweet Angels Self Help School have been studying on a natural floor of compressed clay that is based on quite swampy ground. Those floors are very wet and not able to absorb water. Therefor, they are usually soft, unstable and hard to clean. As a result, the desks of the pupils are Sweet Angels Self Help School did not have a solid stand. This problem made it very hard for the children to concentrate on their school work. No good educational environment for the 160 pupils.. but now, things have changed!
