Throughout the Gondar region, thousands of children study in make-shift schools, including shade under a tree and mud huts with tin roofs. In Goradera, a village located in the Gondar Zuria district, there was a great need for a new school. The old school structure made from corrugated iron sheet and open walls was in dire repair and full of holes. Kulam, with its partners and in partnership with local authorities, volunteered its time and skills to spearhead the construction of a proper new school building and well in Goradera, raising funds and managing the logistics required in building a project overseas. The school consists of two classrooms and serves elementary school age children.
