Wimagak Primary School currently faces a critical shortage of learning space.
Despite serving 524 learners, the school operates with only eight classrooms. Four of these classrooms are undersized and inadequate, while PP1 and PP2 learners lack proper classrooms entirely.
Objectives
The proposed project will provide six fully equipped classrooms, serving approximately 240learners at a time, while significantly reducing congestion throughout the school. The projectwill also install a 10,000-litre rainwater harvesting system to address chronic water shortagesaffecting sanitation, hygiene, and learner welfare.The intervention will directly benefit 524 learners and 15 teachers and provide sustainableeducational infrastructure for future generations.
The school needs an additional six classrooms to:
• Accommodate current enrolment.
• Reduce overcrowding.
• Support CBC implementation.
• Create age-appropriate learning spaces.
• Improve educational outcomes.
The shortage of classrooms results in:
• Congested learning environments.
• Reduced learner participation.
• Lower teacher effectiveness.
• Challenges in classroom management.
• Reduced academic performance.
The school also experiences chronic water shortages, affecting sanitation, handwashing, and overall learner well-being.
Due to widespread poverty within the community, local resources are insufficient to address these infrastructure deficiencies without external support

The school’s two buildings are unfinished and dilapidated; they have 4 and 2 classrooms, respectively, for a total enrollment of 357 students. There are more than 65 students per class. The desks and benches are broken and insufficient. Three or more students sit on each bench instead of two.
Renovation of Kennedy 2 School in Daloa
ESTABLISHED in 2000. I have been running this school for three years now. But there are no amenities for these students. Under the previous principal, enrollment was at a maximum of 90 students. When I arrived, after giving the school a few coats of paint, I had 120 students in the first year, then 180, and 187 this year.
The school originally planned (32 classrooms) was not fully completed due to a lack of funding. The current capacity (6 classrooms) is insufficient to meet the needs of the village and the surrounding areas.
