This private school was founded by a local church and focuses on educating children in the most difficult situations. When Arukah Global began our partnership with Birhan Academy in 2015, student capacity was at 400. Over the next several years, our partnership with the school has helped increase their student capacity to nearly 600 kindergarten - 5th graders. This was done by building a 16 spigot water system with tanks, adding an 8 stall latrine, building new classrooms, teachers lounge and office, and a shaded outdoor space where younger students can nap and eat.
NEXT PHASE:
The local government has given approval for expanding the school to include 6 - 8th grade.
The long-term goal is to build 4 classrooms, 1 "laboratory", and a library (6 buildings total). Funds will cover all construction costs, desks, tables, chairs, chalk boards, and basic classroom supplies.
Our initial goal is to raise enough funds to build 2 - 4 classrooms at approximately $9200 each ($18,400 - $36,800)
