Project Report | Apr 20, 2026
Fundraising continues

By Catherine Hoath | Co-founder, Secretary and Treasurer

Fundraising for the new high school in Konkourona is continuing as the community focuses on construction of a diagnostic laboratory.  So far $100 out of a goal of $150,000 has been raised.  Once construction of the diagnostic laboratory is complete in 2026, construction of the high school will be prioritized.

The infrastructure built in the past 7 years includes:  elementary education classrooms, housing for teachers, a health center, a pharmacy, latrines, water towers, fountains, a library, a multi-purpose health center, a headquarters, a middle school, a warehouse for storing medical equipment, an incinerator for medical waste, and housing for healthcare workers.  This infrastructure requires educated staff to run it.  There are so few people with education beyond elementary school in Konkourona.  Seeing so many new professionals provides students with many new career opportunities that they never new existed.
