The partnership with Chirolaba secondary school has been running for 3 years. The school takes in pupils from Sona who receive a scholarship to continue their secondary education. The Chirolaba school also has buildings to house our 40 boarding students (at the start of the 2024 school year): dormitories, kitchen, toilets, common room, etc. The Chirolaba school is experiencing a large influx of students and therefore needs additional classrooms. That's what this project is all about.
The project in brief
The Chirolaba secondary school caters for 1,250 pupils who attend the 4-year course in 2 buildings with 4 classrooms each, in 2 shifts in the morning and afternoon. As a result, the school has a serious shortage of classrooms (an average of over 90 pupils per class!), leading to a definite deterioration in teaching conditions.
To make up for the glaring lack of classrooms, which is compromising the quality of teaching, we are planning :
- The construction of a brick building with 4 classrooms, increasing the school's capacity from 50%.
- Equipping the 4 classrooms as well as appropriate furniture (chairs, desks, etc.)
- Equipping it with electricity and connect it to the grid.
Project budget: 158,500 frs
Project details:
We are planning :
- The construction of a brick building with 4 classrooms and electricity, increasing the school's capacity by 50%.
- - The provision of furniture, school equipment and reference books.
Construction schedule :
Construction takes around 6 months. The structural work and waterproofing (the first 4 months of the project) must be carried out during the dry season, between September and June.
Impact of the project :
Directly: the 1,250 pupils and teaching staff.
Indirectly: families and the community by improving the quality of education, as well as through the economic impact of the construction and the jobs created during the works.
