Schools for Africa
Schools for Africa - Flyer with contribution form
Schools for Africa remains an international project in 2012. In September 2009, an additional agreement was signed which extended Schools for Africa into 11 countries including Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, Ethiopia and Madagascar. In these countries as well as the new additions, UNICEF is working with governments, local authorities, communities and other partners to:
- Build and rehabilitate 1,000 schools
- Create schools that offer a safe and protective environment where children can learn
and play; - Provide access to clean water and separate sanitation facilities for boys and girls in
those schools; - Supply exercise books, pens, proper furniture and other school and sports materials;
- Train 100,000 teachers to provide children with quality education and basic life skills;
- Educate children about proper hygiene and HIV prevention; this knowledge is passed on to siblings, parents, and the community at large.
