It is now one year since our first kindergarten opened its doors to 151 children in Abu Nahla, North Darfur. Children now learn through play and because our handpumps are operational near their village, they no longer have to walk for water and can go to school each day. Many of these children had never picked up a toy or book before we built their school.
What has been most impressive is the way in which the community have taken ownership of this building. They helped to build it and it has galvanised their community spirit. Children who faced a bleak future with little or no education, now have the best start possible in life thanks to your support and the hard work of their parents.
We are now planning our next three kindergartens and have funding for two already. This week, we received confirmation from the Ministry of Education, in Darfur, that they have agreed to fund the teachers for the next three kindergartens and land has been allocated in each village. Can you help to support our next school project please? You can choose to donate, books, bricks or even education for a year! Thank you for remembering Darfur.
