At Yakodoma Primary School, also known in African Revival’s project records as Yuda, the school community has marked the handover of new facilities to support children’s learning in Maridi, South Sudan.
The photographs from the handover capture a significant moment for the school: a new classroom block, desks and sanitation facilities that the community can build on for the future.
More space to learn
A four-classroom block has been at the heart of the project. The school’s new desks provide places for pupils to sit, write and learn together. Alongside the classrooms, the project includes sanitation facilities and rainwater harvesting.
With space to learn, furniture for pupils and improved sanitation, the facilities give the school community a stronger foundation for the everyday work of teaching and learning.
A shared achievement
Projects like this are made possible by many people: the school’s pupils and teachers, local community members, the construction team and the supporters who help fund the work.
A plaque on the classroom block honours the memory of Glen James, a trustee of African Revival. We are grateful to Glen and Mandy James and Justin Dillingham for supporting this project, and to everyone whose generosity helped make it possible.
Looking ahead
A building is an important starting point, but what matters most is how it serves pupils and teachers over time. We hope to share more from the school as we learn how the facilities are being used and cared for.
