We are aiming to buy every child at our school (there are 400) a school bag. At the moment children have nothing to carry their books, pencils and pens in. A bag would be so good - especially when you have to walk over a kilometre to school and back each day!

2020-2023 was immensely challenging for us. Covid struck in 2020 and since then there has been civil unrest in Northern Ethiopia. In the face of adversity, our commitment to providing access for all to a good education has not waivered and is now even more important. Climate change and world instability mean that our children need education more than ever.

A new semester has seen clean hands! We have now completed a WASH station and pupils have had training on how to wash their hands. This will help sanitation and provide valuable drinking water during many days of hot weather in the dry season.

Another year, and good news!

Despite the challenges we face we now have 266 pupils, seven classrooms and nine teachers, including three new Grade 5 teachers for pupils aged 11-15. We’ve been working hard with teachers on improving learning and lots of training has been happening.
