The Bright Future School project aims to improve access to quality education for children in Kwirebero, in the Nyabikokora cell, Kirehe district, Rwanda.
Some children have to walk several kilometres to get to school. The construction of a new nursery and primary school will bring education closer to families and provide children with a safe learning environment tailored to their needs.
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.
