Background: Ebenezer African Church is a primary school in Abeokuta, Nigeria. Initially constructed of two 2-story blocks of 8 classrooms each, in 2008 one of the blocks collapsed nearly killing several students. Half the of student body was immediately turned out of school because the government would not replace the collapsed building. Coafrica’s classroom block increased the school’s capacity to nearly the previous level.
