Progress on the new classroom block

Location: Osiele, Abeokuta, Nigeria

Project Scope: 4 Classrooms

Impacted Children: ~1,600

Timeline: January 2024 -May 2024

Community Involvement: Community members will clear the land, dig the foundation, carry water and sand, mold bricks, and provide maintenance and security of materials. The Alumni association is donating 300 bags of cement and private donors have contributed financially to the project.

Coalition: BASIA

Background: Salawu Abiola High School is located on the outskirts of Abeokuta, Nigeria. It currently has 19 classrooms housing 1,585 students. The existing structure is in such poor condition, safety concerns have led teachers to hold their classes outside. With an additional 700 students estimated to be out of school in the area, this school needed more space. Once completed, we hope the additional 4 classrooms will provide a safe and durable learning environment and entice more out-of-school children to start attending school.
