Skolen i Butiki
En barne- og ungdomsskole for elever i Butiki.
Etablert med hjelp fra private givere og frivillige fra Norge.
“Education is the gate pass to a bright future”
Alle barn fortjener et sted å kunne gå på skole. I landsbyen Butiki, 20 minutter unna Victoriasjøen, ligger Chime Elementary. Hit kommer 700 elever hver dag for å utdannes i ulike språk, matematikk, helse og mye mer. Skolen er et resultat av frivillig dugnadsarbeid og et brennende engasjement for å gjøre noe bra.
Hva sier de lokale?
“There was a need to give the kids in the community hope and to remind them that education is not luxury but rather a necessity. This way we keep kids away from crime and other counter-productive activities that would ruin their lives.”
— Arthur, Chime sin lokale administrator
“Our community lacked a proper school where kids could get proper education. The available shanty schools were under trees or in shelters that were very improper for a learning environment.”
— Hamid, Chime sin lokale veterinær
