2022 COMPLETED SCHOOL BLOCKS
Our partnership with buildOn continued with two more school blocks in 2022 , adding additional classrooms and latrines to schools where The Sonder Project had already previously built school blocks in Malawi . A school block in Malawi consists of a two-classroom building along with two hand-dug latrines ( toilets ). In the past , The Sonder Project partnered with buildOn to construct schools in communities where a two classroom structure could be adequate for the whole school , but that is not the case in most communities in Malawi and Burkina . To ensure sustainability , the construction process requires significant contributions from the local community including providing raw materials such as sand and gravel , as well as the necessary manual labor . Our ability to build additional school blocks in communities reflects their long-term commitment to education for their children .
Despite the rain , students gather for a photo in front of the newly completed block at St . Elizabeth Primary School .
