flood-resilient
school

Mingalaba!

We, One Dollar Fund Myanmar (ODF Myanmar), would like to ask for cooperation
of your organization in our relief and rehabilitation efforts around flooded areas in Myanmar.

About ODF
First of all, let us give a brief introduction of ODF Myanmar. In order to offer a helping
hand as much as we can in fulfilling basic needs for orphans, education, healthcare
and natural disasters in Myanmar, ODF Myanmar was founded in February 2010.
Since then, our activities have been publicized to donors from different countries, via
our website: www.odfmyanmar.org.
From its establishment to June 2015, ODF Myanmar, with the cooperation of our donors, had assisted over 0.1 million SGD to different needy places.

Ongoing Activities
Recently, ODF Myanmar has been offering a helping hand to flood victims
in Myanmar.
ODF Myanmar has been assisting in
relief and development works in
Rakine State (together with Rakhine
Thahara organization), Nga Le and
Pann Chat villages in Sidoktaya Township from Magway Division, Sitha and
other needy villages in Kalay Township and Haka, Tidim and Tonzang
townships in Chin State.

Proposal on Cooperation
As part of our organizations rehabilitation efforts, we are working together
with SPINE Architects
(http://www.spinearchitects.com) and
UCSD Structural Engineers Group to
build a flood resistant school building in
Minn Phoo Village in Minbya Township,
Rakhine State. Building design is donated by SPINE Architects and USCD
Structural Engineers Group.

Currently, the project funding still has a

long way to go we are about 16.1 millions Kyats (i.e. 46% of the whole project) behind the goal. Hence, we would
like to initiate a cooperation proposal to
your organization.

Minn Phoo Village is the place which was

flooded entirely due to the recent flood.
That is why the building which we are
planning to donate is designed to serve
as both a school building and a floodresistant shelter during a flood.
The estimated cost for the building is
about 35 millions Kyats (35,000,000
Kyats). As an initial fund, ODF Myanmar
has contributed 10 million Kyats
(10,000,000 Kyats) and SPINE Architects has donated 1,300,000 Kyats.

Moreover, please be informed that

SPINE Architects will donate building designs to any organizations or individuals
who are interested in donating those
flood resistant buildings in Rakine State
or other places.

The building will have two storeys with

an area of 60x40 square feet and will be
able to accommodate up to 200 students. In the occurrence of a flood, the
building will be clear from 15-feet water
level and its rooftop can serve as a shelter if the water level increases up to 25
feet.

We are targeting to commence the construction process some time in October

2015.
