As many of us wind down for Christmas, the new school year is well underway for the preschool children of Kebele 20 where our classroom project is now complete!
This project was truly a collaboration, beginning with your generous donations to our Christmas campaign, and building through partnership. The project is testament to our principle of doing things well, rather than just doing them quickly. From an original plan for three new traditional construction classrooms, we have now built four new concrete classrooms, with furniture, resources and a playground appropriate for kindergarten children.
Consultations with the children and teachers led to adaptations to decoration, furnishing and resourcing that mean the community truly feel ownership. The impact of the project is evident in the numbers of new children enrolling at the start of this year - 240 children are attending the pre-school - double the number last year!
Together, we have built a bright, safe and inspiring space for children to begin their education, that will last for generations.
