Building schools & other educational infrastructure
Build, upgrade and equip schools and other educational facilities to provide safe, child-friendly, inclusive, and effective learning and living environments
Why do we do it?
We strongly believe that a safe, secure and conducive learning environment is essential for the educational success and wellbeing of the students and teachers. Therefore, we support children and youth in accessing education by providing quality education infrastructure, either building completely new schools, replacing dilapidated ones which were unsafe and unhygienic or constructing additional classrooms to reduce crowding in classes.
Access to secondary education remains challenging in remote areas as students live too far from school and parents cannot afford the traveling or boarding expenses. In the rainy season, many students receive no education due to travel difficulties or dangers such as flooded roads. Some students have to take shelter in basic bamboo huts offering little protection. To address these problems, we build secure boarding houses at centrally located secondary schools to offer free, safe and supervised accommodation. Our educational facilities provide the students a high standard learning and living environment.
