Build classrooms and latrines in Majak Goi village

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our generous donors through GlobalGiving for your continued support of our work. Your kindness and commitment are making a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable children in South Sudan.

Over the past three months, we successfully reopened Deng Maker Primary School and enrolled 200 pupils. We expect enrollment to continue increasing as more families return to the community. Previously, the school served over 500 pupils, but enrollment dropped to fewer than 300 due to a shortage of classrooms, inadequate sanitation facilities, and the lack of basic learning resources.

The Mawoudit Foundation and the management of Deng Maker Primary School have identified the construction of two blocks of pit latrines as a top priority for the next six months. Improved sanitation facilities will help reduce waterborne diseases, promote better hygiene, and create a healthier learning environment for all pupils. We request for 11,000 USD to be able to construct two block of latrines for girls, boys and school staff.

With the continued support of GlobalGiving and our generous donors, we are confident that this important project can be achieved. Together, we are improving access to quality education and ensuring that children can learn in a safe, healthy, and dignified environment.

Thank you for standing with us and for investing in the future of South Sudan's children.

The Build Classrooms and Latrines Project in Majak Goi Village is a powerful example of how collective generosity can transform lives, even with limited resources. In 2024, through the GlobalGiving platform, we successfully raised USD 966 with the support of generous individual donors through globalgiving platform, who believe in the power of education and dignity for children in rural communities.

Although the funds were initially intended to support the construction of classrooms and latrines, the urgent needs of our community school guided us to make immediate, high-impact investments that would directly benefit learners and teachers. 

With the USD 966 raised, we were able to:

a) Purchase 68 textbooks to improve learning and reading outcomes

b) Provide 4 cartons of chalk, pens, and 4 notebooks to support daily classroom activities

c) Pay incentives for 8 volunteer teachers, recognizing their commitment and helping them continue teaching despite difficult conditions

This support created meaningful and positive change at our school. Learners now have access to learning materials that were previously unavailable, improving attendance, participation, and motivation. Teachers felt encouraged and valued, which strengthened their dedication to serving children from humble backgrounds.

Most importantly, this contribution restored hope and dignity to the children and the wider Majak Goi community. Parents, teachers, and pupils alike witnessed that the world has not forgotten them and that even small donations can make a big difference when driven by compassion and solidarity.

We remain deeply grateful to all donors who supported this project. Your generosity laid a strong foundation for our long-term goal of building permanent classrooms and latrines, ensuring a safe, healthy, and conducive learning environment for every child in Majak Goi. We believe that we will be able to construct permanent classrooms, latrines, computer  lab and library through your continued support.
