Abisag Primary School

Abisag Primary School is located in the northern-central highlands, an area that is particularly drought-prone. The school provides Grades 1 to 8 education for around 500 students.

Before the project began in 2017, the school had four classrooms in extremely poor condition. They had deteriorated severely due to termites, harsh weather, and a lack of maintenance for more than a decade. The rooms became unbearably hot in the afternoons, making it impossible to hold classes, which in turn forced all lessons into the morning and caused serious overcrowding. The community had attempted to improve the situation by starting construction on two new classrooms, but despite their efforts, these remained unfinished and abandoned for several years.

Between 2017 and 2018, our project repaired the four deteriorating classrooms and completed the two unfinished classrooms. We also constructed new toilets and repaired the classroom gutters so rainwater could be channelled into two existing water tanks, ensuring students and staff have access to water.

This project has significantly improved the learning environment at Abisag Primary School.
