Dansa Full Elementary School #3

Currently Grades 1-4 with a capacity 400 students on one shift, although in fact this school is oiperating some grades on two shifts. On completion this will cater for Grades 1 to 8.

In 2008 Phase 1 of this project was completed with community self-help support advised by our engineer. The committed Dansa community have already built one classroom block and started digging a deep trench latrine, but they lack the resources to complete this work.

In December 2009 work started on Phase 2. This will, as other schools, consist of four new classrooms, an Administration block with offices, store and library with the completion of the deep trench latrine. This work will be undertaken now with funding from Coornhert Gymnasium/Wilde Ganzen and others.

Donations are still awaited for the purchase of basic local-made furniture.

Impact

On completion this school will bring closer access & better long-term educational facilities to over 400 of the most vulnerable rural youngsters, many of whom without this school, probably would not have this opporttunity to attend any education at all
