Project Description
Our first school has been in operation for several years now, and the African Sky family continues to support the students and teachers who use the school every day. In 2008, we provided support funds to the primary school in Dissan. These funds were used to purchase classroom supplies, three soccer balls, and support funds for teachers (petty cash for minor classroom expenses). As we complete our vision to build ten rural schools, African Sky will transition some of its education programs toward supporting and enriching these schools. We are working with local officials from all of our selected school sites to arrange for government paid teachers in perpetuity; we have several such agreements already. In some cases we provide salary funds for a small number of teachers. When a classroom does not have enough students to warrant a government paid teacher, African Sky pitches in until there are enough students to get an official salaried teacher.
