Koundou

In the Koundou villages SDO has realized two wells, one in Koundou Ginna and one at the school The location of the school is between the two villages in the Koundou community. Through the years a range of educational supportive facilities have been realized. The first phase, from 2002, is a school with four classrooms. The four classrooms are housed in two buildings, placed opposite of one another. After the realization of the first phase the other facilities were made, under the housing for teachers and the latrines. A few lovely guest houses were created for the pupils that traveled far from the Koundou villages (under which Soban, Da, Guiguinou, Goumo) situated on the plains. In 2005 the school was expanded with two classrooms. A new classroom had to be built on both buildings. These extra classrooms were intended for the second cycle. Unfortunately, getting quality teachers was very difficult on this location. There were 360 pupils, and only two teachers. For this reason more explicit agreements with the local government and community about the expansion of the school buildings with extra classrooms is necessary. The housing of the teachers will play a more important role. The guest houses were not a success and are only used for a short period of time because organizing the food in the morning and evening prove to be too stressful for the Koundou population.
