The first school was built in Kibonda, Sake. It was designed for 25 students, but quickly reached capacity with nearly 50 students enrolled.
The second school, located a few kilometers away, was built to accommodate 50 students but now enrolls 100. 300 additional students had wanted to attend.
The third school was completed in January 2024, but there is still more space needed! Children in Sake, and many other neighboring regions, are in need of these opportunities.
