Construction of a new school with 6 classrooms – Al Arqam ibn Al Arqam

Mali
|
Ville de senou

Problem/ Context

This initiative aims to provide children in Sénou and the surrounding areas with better access to education. The project to build the Dar Al-Arqam Ibn Al-Arqam school in Sénou, Bamako, Mali, aims to contribute to the development of educational provision in the locality.

Detailed project description

The project is currently in the preparatory phase. Its objective is to establish a new private school for primary and secondary pupils. The land required for construction has yet to be identified and secured. The project therefore requires support for site preparation, the construction of school buildings and the installation of essential equipment. The project is in its early stages; no construction work has yet begun.

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.

Wimagak Primary School currently serves 524 learners, comprising approximately 262 girlsand 262 boys from predominantly low-income households. The school faces severe classroom shortages due to increasing enrolment and the implementation of Kenya's Competency-BasedCurriculum (CBC) and Junior Secondary School (JSS) programme.The school currently has only eight classrooms, four of which are inadequate andovercrowded. PP1 and PP2 learners lack dedicated classrooms, compromising early childhoodlearning outcomes.

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.

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.
