This community is about 8 km
to the north of Kabala and has about 20 dwelling houses with an estimated population of about 150 to 200. This community had a makeshift school which they themselves
were gradually establishing. This unfinished building
collapsed and nothing came in its place so far.
The school had an enrolment of about 76 pupils from classes one to three, with only one teacher. School children and community people all benefited from used clothes, toys, books and other school materials donated by BAN.

Building a new school in the
community
(All children trek daily 8 km dusty road to and from a
school in Kabala which is strenuous and dangerous)
|
This school is also within the township of Kabala. It has three structures/buildings of 8 classrooms. There is a lower section or unit comprising classes 1 2 and 3 with an enrolment of 407 pupils and an upper section or unit comprising classes 4, 5 and 6 with an enrolment of 414. It has a combined teaching force of 16 teachers including two head masters.
The two structures/buildings when completed and handed over will cushion the overcrowding problem. Very limited sitting accommodation for both pupils and teachers. Lack of sufficient learning and school materials.
Although this community is about 30 km from Kabala but it takes 6 hours to get to this village. The roads'
quality is very poor which makes traveling to Kabala very dangerous.
BAN’s founder encouraged her younger school going brothers and sisters to put education at the top of their list and promised her organization would do more for anyone serious about his or her education.
Organization donated school materials to all the pupils and teachers of the school.
