Uvira School Construction Completed

Uvira School Construction Completed - Image The local school in Uvira, Democratic Republic of Congo, was in danger of falling into a ravine. So, the school was relocated to a new property and the building and construction was recently completed. While at first some classes were still held at the previous location, full schooling could be resumed at the new premises by the end of last year. A wonderful inauguration was held where many officials and members of the community participated.

The following services are accommodated in the school:
  • Nursery/pre-school school with currently 10 students
  • Primary schooling with 156 students
  • Secondary schooling with 40 students
  • A Child Development Centre in the afternoon.

    • All the schooling programmes are now solely locally funded. This means that school raises operational funds and the parents are contributing to pay the teachers.
    As the local people have seen the support from Helping Hands Africa, they mobilized themselves and started building a 5th classroom and the foundation for the 6th classroom.
