Description

The renovation project for the nursery school in Kokwaado aimed to address critical issues affecting the safety, learning environment, and accessibility for young children. For years, the school operated in a dilapidated state with missing doors and windows, no electricity, insufficient seating, and a lack of security—allowing animals like goats and even snakes to disrupt learning sessions. Additionally, the absence of a fence allowed children to leave the school premises unsupervised, creating significant security concerns for both children and teachers.

With support from CorpsAfrica and the active participation of the local community, a comprehensive renovation plan was undertaken to improve conditions. This included installing doors, windows, and burglar-proof bars, painting the entire school, building a fence wall with a gate, providing additional seating, and connecting electricity to support both learning activities and digital literacy initiatives introduced by the Ghana Education Service (GES). A temporary library was also created to house donated books, while regular maintenance, such as weeding around the premises, ensured a safer environment. This initiative not only enhanced safety and learning conditions but also led to increased enrollment, as more parents felt comfortable sending their children to a secure and conducive learning environment.
