Construction of 3 classrooms and 2 staff accommodation units – EPP Konankro

Problem/ Context

The Konankro State Primary School (EPP), situated in the Bodokro sub-prefecture in the Gbêkê region of Côte d’Ivoire, has around 120 pupils. Despite its vital role in the education of local children, the school requires additional facilities to improve learning conditions and meet the needs of its pupil population. The lack of sufficient classrooms limits the school’s ability to accommodate pupils in suitable conditions.

Furthermore, the shortage of suitable accommodation for teachers makes it more difficult for them to settle in the area and may jeopardise their long-term commitment to the school. In light of this situation, the construction of three additional classrooms and two staff flats is a pressing priority. The completion of these facilities would help to improve the school environment, facilitate the work of teachers and provide pupils with better conditions in which to learn and succeed.

Detailed project description

The project involves strengthening the infrastructure of the Konankro Primary School through the construction of three additional classrooms and two staff accommodation units for teachers.

The main objective is to

  • improve teaching and learning conditions,
  • increase the school’s capacity and
  • encourage teachers to remain in the locality in the long term.

The planned works include the construction and fitting out of three classrooms, as well as the provision of two functional staff accommodation units for teachers. This infrastructure will provide a school environment better suited to the needs of pupils and teaching staff.

The direct beneficiaries will be the school’s approximately 120 pupils and its teaching staff. Pupils’ parents and the wider Konankro community will also benefit from the positive impact of the project. Through this initiative, we are seeking Action For Africa’s support to contribute to the development of education in rural areas and to ensure that the children of Konankro have a school environment more conducive to their success.

We are a rural school in Lesotho, Excel High Academy. Our school does not have proper buildings that meet the required standards for final examinations. Because of this, our students are forced to travel long distances from our rural area to urban centres to write their final examinations.This long-distance travel causes high transport costs for parents, safety risks for learners, and stress that affects their performance in examinations.

We are therefore seeking support to build a proper examination hall / permanent classrooms at our school premises, so that our learners can write their examinations in a safe, dignified and conducive environment at their own school.

MU RUGO RUGALI GARILEA serves 143 children in a community where the school seeks to contribute to access to early childhood and primary education. Although the school has classrooms and a team of teachers and support staff, its infrastructure remains limited.Five of the seven existing classrooms are old and all seven are not enough to receive all the available customers where 77 pending children in this first term 2026 have not yet been registered.

The school also lacks a dedicated library, a suitable kitchen building and a dining hall. In addition, the school seeks a perimeter fence to define the school boundary and improve the management and security of the compound.

The school intends to extend its educational provision to Primary Five and Primary Six next academic year 2027-2028, subject to the required authorization but right now an urgent need is on expanding baby class and Primary one where we have ready children but no classes to put them in. Additional classroom space is therefore a priority. A library would give children greater access to storybooks and reference materials. A dedicated kitchen and dining hall would help organise meal preparation and pupils' meals more appropriately.

The school needs additional classrooms to support its planned expansion to find where to put received client in this first term that started on 07/09/2026 where we had 220 children but we managed to accommodate 143 only, others are still not registered and are willing to come any time we get two at least two classes to put them in. It also needs a library to encourage reading, a kitchen for food preparation, a dining hall for pupils' meals, and a perimeter fence to help define and secure the school compound.
