We are proud to announce: 12 years later, our school will soon have a second building!
A School for their community’s children was development goal number one, identified during Zahana’s very first community meeting in Fiadanana. In 2005 we were able to secure the funding. Our first school built for and by the community was ready in 2006. With your help, Zahana has been paying the teacher’s salaries ever since. Seedlings planted at the time are now towering shade trees in the schoolyard.
This was made possible thanks to the generous support of the French NGO that built our CARMMA, our Health Center focusing especially on maternal and Child health as well. They paid for all of the school’s construction materials and labor costs. Zahana is in charge of furniture, teaching materials, as well as hiring and training the additional teachers.
We have bold new plans for the new school. We will report about it, once the construction is finished, after the official inauguration ceremony took place. Stay tuned.
