The existing school in Senguembengou was designed in 1990 by a Malinese architect. In Mali there are many of these schools that are relatively well built and have a distinctive character. They are often in a decent condition. Since these schools are built with concrete bricks, the climate inside is very warm and the lowered ceiling, which should be used for ventilation, often works poorly.
During the renovation, the ceiling has been removed to improve the ventilation, the floors are renewed and the roof construction is rebuilt. On the other side of this renewed school, a new school with 3 classrooms has been built, creating an extra outdoor space, so that there is plenty of room for the children to sit in the shade.
