With the civil unrest in Myanmar, projects are taking longer than originally anticipated. Project officers have to be very careful about traveling to remote areas, and their safety is our number 1 concern. Materials are also harder to obtain with inflated prices. But, all three teacher housing projects are underway. We look forward to seeing the finished products and getting full-time teachers into these rural villages to keep the children in class.
Each of our three pilot villages in Zambia placed teacher housing at the top of their priority list. In the Mazabuka region of Zambia, the roads become impassible during the rainy season, just like in our Myanmar regions. There is no way for the teachers to get into the schools, leaving children out of the classroom for weeks at a time.
With the addition of these teacher housing units, qualified teachers are happy to stay on-site in comfortable accommodations where they can focus on their students while also taking care of themselves.
