Aladura Primary School in Buedu, Sierra Leone, needs three new classrooms and a teachers’ store so its pupils can take full part in the government’s new tablet programme.

For 14 years, Aladura Primary School has given children in Buedu a place to learn. Our founder, Isaiah Lahai, built the school and has run it since it opened. This term, the government introduced a tablet programme, with tablets provided by Imagine Worldwide, and our pupils are now learning on them with headphones.

The problem: not enough rooms

According to the school staff, the school does not have the space to run the tablet classes:

  • Pupils in the tablet classes sit on mats on the floor, together with the kindergarten children.
  • Classes 3 and 4 share a single classroom.
  • Teachers find it difficult to teach so many children of different ages in one room.
  • There is no separate store room for teachers.

What we are raising funds for

  • Three classrooms, so that classes 3 and 4 each have their own room and the tablet classes no longer share space with kindergarten.
  • A teachers’ store for teaching materials and equipment.
