Schools (CS, Paalga School, Eben Ezer)

 

In Europe, we study longer and longer to become doctors, lawyers, teachers or specialists of all types. In Subsaharian Africa, on the other hand, 70% of the population is illiterate.

Schools are rare and usually centralized in the larger cities. Rural villages located far from urban centers are severely handicapped. Some children have to walk 7-10 km to get to the closest school.

CS : COMMUNITY SCHOOLS IN THE BUSH

  


Goal: Fight illiteracy by creating schools for village children in the bush.

Morija supports a project in the Moyen-Chari region in southern Chad. It currently covers 60 schools representing over 6,000 students.
The educational program of these primary schools is identical to that of the public schools but instead of being financed by the State, they are managed by the parents..

PAALGA SCHOOL

 

Goal: Fight illiteracy.

This school is for children from the highly populated suburb of Tanghin, in Ougadougou, Burkina Faso. In this overly populated area, schools are scarce and therefore one class can include up to 160 students. For many families with little to no income it was nearly impossible to register their children.

Paalga School

Project seeks financing in 2008:

CHF 32’716 for primary and secondary school

EBEN EZER SCHOOL

 

Goal: Offer a good level of academic training enabling continuation of studies

Eben Ezer (relief stone) is an orphanage located in Bessada, a village 20km away from the town of Koumra, in Chad. This orphanage also welcomes the older orphans from the Betsaleel orphanage so that they can continue their studies at the nearby Christian college.

Each morning the children are in school at the college. In the afternoon, they have support lessons at Eben Ezer. In the evening they return to the college for supervised homework. Wednesday and Saturday afternoons are free and every second weekend the students can return to Koumra to be with their brothers and sisters
