Greetings of the new year…it has been quite a while since my last post. I would like to share a series of posts showing progress of our work with Africa Education Partnership in an area of the world facing daily economic and political challenges we cannot imagine. Renovation of an entire block of 17 classrooms and offices at Kafanchan Junior-Secondary School. The school, home to over 650 students, had fallen into disrepair. Without funds to make repairs, the building continued to degrade. This is the first building of a multi-year renovation project at this school.

There are so many wonderful things happening with our AEP partners; read all about it! Gidan Waya, a large rural K-12 school in Kafanchan, boasts a population of over 700 students. The facility also has dormitories for both girls and boys, complete with toilets and showers. Built on the other side of the campus, the dormitories contain the only toilets for staff and students. To date, teachers and students have had to walk across the campus to access the toilets inside of the dormitories. This has resulted in lost class time and disruption of teaching. To alleviate the problem, a new building was constructed close to the classrooms. The structure is larger than our normal footprint in order to accommodate the larger school population. Currently, the structure is complete and will contain stalls for students and staff as well as hand washing stations for convenience. Many thanks to the Avon-Canton Rotary Club for sponsoring this project!   This April, funding was sent to Graceland International School in Gusau for study carrels for student use in the library. This was a priority request from our partners as the number of students who access the library to work has increased. The carrels will increase the functionality of the space. The next step will be to supply additional volumes and titles to the library itself.  |
