More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
There are 250 students: most are under 10 years old and 40% are orphans. Tuition is $5 a year. Volunteer teachers, usually college students, make $25 a month. It’s the only alternative to distant, expensive, overcrowded public schools for this Dar-al-Salam-Taiwidat community of 45,000 refugees fleeing drought and war. High illiteracy compounds their chronic poverty, massive unemployment, and insufficient health services.
Activities
Educating large numbers of boys and girls otherwise doomed to a dismal future. Buying books for students and teaching materials; paying tuition fees and teacher salaries; continuing school reconstruction and improvements.
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $8,000

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Children are literate and have math skills; are off the streets; and have some potential for a future, as well as continued education.
Project Message
What’s different about this school is the feeling of responsibility and ownership this community has for their school--their real long-term commitment.
