Binta's Angels Network

This community is located north-east from Kabala and inherits the district name (Koinadugu district). It has about 75 dwelling-houses with an estimated population of about 2000 to 2500. This community has a primary school with one building comprising two big classrooms partitioned among other classes. The school is benefiting from the Sababu education project which is erecting two structures/ buildings of three classrooms each, expected to be completed and handed over in May this year.

This community received the largest consignment of used cloths, toys and school materials donated by BAN.

Project Challenges

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 30km. from Kabala but it takes 6 hours to get to this village. The roads are death traps and terribly dangerous.

No water well.

Poor toilet facilities

BAN donated 45 bags of rice to the community as a contribution to alleviation of hunger in the community and promised to do more in the near future. BAN representatives reaffirmed her organization’s commitment to support the education of the children. The community people expressed their appreciation of the gesture, but they highlighted what they considered their most pressing needs.

Project challenges

Building a school in the community
(All children trek daily 12km dusty road to and from a school in Kabala which is strenuous and dangerous)

Building a clinic in the community

Building of other social facilities, such as a community centre etc.
