   Jordan - Zerka

School Computer Lab

$30,550

The grant budget will be used to purchase computers and computer-related equipment and furniture necessary to establish a computer laboratory for the Zerka School South located in Zerka, Jordan. The Zerka School South is a kindergarden through 10th grade school with a current enrollment of 287 students. Parents of children attending the school are low income wage earners with a strong desire to provide their children with the highest quality education possible. School revenue from tuition is not sufficient to fund the current operating expenses and the financial shortfall is funded by the local Catholic Diocese.

Additionally, after further discussions with Mustafa Nasereddin of the Amman Petra Rotary Club, it was determined that it would be most efficient and cost effective to have the Amman Petra Rotary Club establish the bank account to which Rotary International will deposit the project funds allowing the Amman Petra Rotary Club to directly coordinate for the payment of all expenses related to this project.
