Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
The project rebuilds earthquake-damaged schools for 104 children. Children will no longer have to study in a dangerous environment and the new school will attract more students to study which in turn can help lift them out from poverty in the future.
Project Message
Over 100 million children are out of school. Support Oxfam to help millions of poor people to get access to basic education, and to get out of poverty!

a concrete-integrated school building of 77 m2 with 2 classrooms and
1 staff room;
a squat toilet with 4 stalls;
blackboard and teaching podium have also installed in each

Students will be studying in this newly-reconstructed school in the coming April this year.
