Many classes in South Sudan are held outdoors, with students sitting on the ground under trees. This exposes students to harsh conditions such as extreme heat, wind, rain, and poisonous insects, creating a difficult teaching environment for educators to connect with students effectively. Our fundraising project includes building four new classrooms for Angor Chuei Primary grade levels 1-4.

Students at Angor Chuei Primary School can benefit greatly from access to basic educational supplies like blackboards, chalk, pencils and textbooks. Teachers can teach and students can learn more effectively with the right tools! A good educational foundation is the key to a more promising future.

Students who are hungry or sick from waterborne disease can have greater difficulty focusing on their school work. Supporting basic needs for clean water and nutrition can create better educational outcomes. Many Angor Chuei students walk from long distances to get to school, and many don’t have food to bring from home. In addition to the well provided by generous GEMS donors, we are now supporting a farm project to grow sorghum and local tree nuts in the school courtyard so students will not have to go hungry during the school day.
