The Block Haye Hawayee Middle School is located about 300 kilometers northwest of Kabul in Mazar-e-Sharif, the capital of Afghanistan's Balkh province. It currently has 2,195 registered students, but not even half of them receive their lessons in classrooms. About 1,300 students have to attend classes in the corridors or outside, which leads to a limited quality of teaching and a severe lack of concentration. The project aims to improve the quality of learning by expanding the school building.
Overcrowded classes, high noise levels and extreme temperatures make learning extremely difficult. As a result, many students gain little to no skills and there are many children from the surrounding area who do not get a school place at all. Although they are of school age, they are denied their right to education and have little chance to escape poverty. Apart from that, the few sanitary facilities at the school are in a desolate state: there is no water supply and only 5 toilets.
The project will solve the problem by focussing on three central points: the expansion of the school building, the improvement of hygienic standards and the promotion of sustainable structures. In order to create sufficient space and a better learning atmosphere, a total of 12 classrooms, a science laboratory, 4 administrative rooms for the teachers and a library will be built and equipped. To improve the hygienic standards, 8 sanitary facilities will be constructed.
In order to promote sustainable structures, there will also be further training for teachers and workshops for students and staff on the topics of hygiene, health and their interrelationships through training and practical exercises. There are also workshops on topics such as school management. Apart from this, the project will increase the quality of school education and ensure a hygienic and safe access to education for more children. This improves the future prospects of the children.
