Providing Children with a Superior Education
|
Encouraging students to work hard at their classes and providing an environment conducive to doing so is one of Dala Development Program’s main priorities.
Multiple factors including poverty, low morale, hopelessness, and corruption in education, among other issues contribute to poor performance nationwide. In villages, more specific challenges include a low teacher to student ratio, poor home lighting for study, and a limited number of textbooks that have to be shared among students. |
In 2009 we started a small nursery school, and every year since they have added a class level. The village community identified the need to have a school that offers consistency (public school teachers strike regularly), a place where there are no surprise expenses (fabricated fees for teachers to collect when the government fails to pay their salary), and where the children could be guided in a Christian light, moulding them into contributing members of the community. These children represent the future of our community.
At present we have more than 100 students from preschool to 5th grade, and beginning in January of 2018 we will add 6th grade. We provide a school environment that brings pride to the local community and instills a solid education from proven community educators that are fully invested in our children. Our teachers are amazing; committed and hard working. They see their job as a calling and an opportunity to mold young minds and hearts in the example of Jesus. They are bringing the local community out of poverty through education.
The school is located at the Africa Inland Church in the village of Soi.
You can give hope to bright students by supporting the school through sponsorship! For only $25 a month you can cover their tuition costs, school supplies, uniforms, and basic medical care.
