The need
Riverbend Primary had four classrooms for 640 children. Two grades studied outside, and lessons stopped whenever it rained. Parents had already made 9,000 bricks by hand before they asked for help.
What we are building
- Six classrooms with steel roofs and wide windows
- A reading corner with 1,200 books chosen by the teachers
- Separate latrines for girls and boys, with a handwashing station
- Desks made by two carpenters from the village
Who we work with
A regional education trust manages the build and the teacher workshops. The school committee, made up of parents and two teachers, signs off every payment.
What your support does
A gift of 40 dollars covers one desk for two pupils. A monthly gift of 15 dollars pays for a term of reading materials for one class. Figures are template values.
