Challenges Within The School

Limited funding

Insufficient funding limits our ability to expand programs, maintain facilities, and provide consistent meals and learning materials for all students. Continued support is critical.

Household crises

When families lose their primary income, children often struggle to stay in school. We subsidize fees and provide emergency support, but demand exceeds resources.

Pandemic impact

COVID-19 disrupted learning and reduced fundraising, straining our reserves. We're building resilience plans to protect students and programs in future emergencies.

Security and infrastructure

Improving perimeter security and basic infrastructure (water, sanitation, walls) remains essential for student safety and consistent operations.
