In 2014, the Daya Primary and Secondary School, located in Tigray, Ethiopia, was made of unsafe walls and leaking roofing.
Students were following the lessons standing on stones. The Butterfly Foundation built the first four classrooms, a water tank for collecting rainwater, and six latrines for 200 students.
A potable water well was opened in 2020 for the use of children and teachers, a new block of four additional classrooms for the secondary grade students, and a classroom to be used as kindergarten.
Last February 2024, the destination of two additional classrooms, originally to be used as a library and teachers’ room, changed following the high increase of students.
During the opening ceremony, we received the request to construct a new block of three classrooms to shelter 170 kindergarten children as the number of students dramatically increased.
The original classroom dedicated to KG will be the library and teacher’s room.
The total investment for the completion of this project consisting of three additional completely furnished classrooms is €.81.000,00 / €.27.000,00 per classroom.
At the present date, we received donations for the manufacture of 30 school benches for the students of the KG, named “the House of the Butterflies”
