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.

Our pupil numbers have increased, and we have been forced to triple the size of the SIL and CP classes, double the size of the CM1 class, and use the parish hall – which is outside the school grounds – for the CM2 class. We therefore wish to plan ahead for the start of the next school year.

In rural areas around Hargeisa, many children from low-income families face significant barriers to accessing quality education due to the lack of schools, long distances to existing educational facilities, and limited financial resources. As a result, many children are unable to attend school or continue their education. Girls and vulnerable children are particularly affected by these challenges. This project aims to address these problems by building a school that provides accessible, safe, and affordable quality education for children from disadvantaged families. The school will help improve literacy, create equal educational opportunities, and contribute to the long-term development of the local community.
