WHO WE ARE – Saint Joseph School (SJS) Alumni Association is formed of 11 elected SJS graduates
who share the love for the school and are eager to strengthen the bonds between SJS alums, students
and the school through mutually beneficial mission and projects.
GENERAL MISSION – SJS Alumni Association is pioneering a project to install solar panels for Saint
Joseph School, Cornet Chehwan; a financially and environmentally sustainable model to serve the
school and its students.
TARGET OF THE FUND – Based on the study made by an esteemed solar energy consultancy
company, the estimated budget is 100,000 USD for Phase 1.
DONATIONS PACKAGES – All donations are welcomed and encouraged.
Donors offering contributions that exceed 1000USD are recognized and entitled to being listed at the
entrance of one of the 5 buildings of the school.
ACTIONS – To achieve our project, we initiated two tracks:
Track 1: Reach out to SJS Alums to donate and support the fund
Track 2: Apply for funds across local & international NGOs/ programs who would support green
sustainable and environmental projects.
