New Construction Project funded by World Children’s Fund:

We were very excited to announce in mid-2013, that World Children’s Fund agreed to fund the construction of four new buildings, which will substantially increase the capacity of the school to attract more paying students to help subsidize the non-paying students and move closer to becoming a sustainable school. The funds will go towards the construction of new girls’ and boys’ dormitory buildings, a dining hall, and finishing the ground floor of a new office/classroom block. Construction began in December 2013. This brings the partnership between WCF, RMF and Mama Kevina to a new level, and promises to make the school a model program for the area.

Construction Project Works/ Scope:

Completion of the Classroom block using part of existing building

Construction of a new Dining Hall

Construction of a new Dormitory block for Girls
