CharityManuel Academy – School Construction and WaSH Project

Background

Tsito is a growing community with a predominantly rural population engaged in subsistence farming and small-scale trading. Despite a strong sense of community, the region faces major socio-economic challenges, particularly in the areas of education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

The Project

The CharityManuel Academy in Tsito Awudome is an important educational institution for children from low-income families. Currently, 72 children, from kindergarten to junior high school, attend this school.

However, a needs assessment has revealed serious deficiencies:

Inadequate classrooms, poor sanitation facilities, a lack of teaching materials, and no digital infrastructure.

These conditions significantly affect the quality of education and endanger the health of the students. As a result, not all school-age children in the area are able to attend school.

By constructing a modern, fully equipped school building with 10 classrooms, an administrative area, sanitation facilities, and a water supply system:

• All students will have access to education.
• Students and teaching staff will have access to clean drinking water, adequate sanitation, and handwashing facilities.Water-related illnesses will be reduced through improved hygiene conditions.
• Students will be able to attend classes regularly and on time, increasing their chances of completing their education.
• Hygiene awareness among students and teachers will be significantly improved through support and training.
• Girls will be able to attend school even during menstruation.

Status: In planning; supported by Sabine Peth and Friends
Estimated Cost: approx. €80,000
