Schools in Guinea

There are many “palm roof schools” in Guinea. New school buildings – are usually built on church property.  The schools are open to all children in the neighbourhood. At the inauguration, the imam and our priest often pray together for a blessed future.

The foundation has built schools in Boke, Sanoya, Nzerekure, Kankan, Macenta, Kissidougu, Faranah and Gueckedou. 

Further projects are planned in Mamou, Lola and Kindia.
