Over 13,000 children have benefitted from our floor projects.
School Projects
In and around Homacho, most children attend schools where the dirt floors are covered with cow manure each Friday in an attempt to minimize dust in the classroom. Since 2015, Friends of Homacho has worked with the school district to pour concrete floors in classrooms at schools throughout the region. To date, we have poured 118 floors at 15 schools that have positively affected over 13,000 children.
A classroom at the school in Halilicho. Friends of Homacho will install eight concrete floors and provide eight blackboards for this school that serves out 300 children.
We create a lot of excitement when we visit schools in Ethiopia. Most of the 800 students at the Hadaye school came out to greet us when we arrived.
An empty classroom at the Hoke School. Friends of Homacho will install 12 concrete floors here in 2021.
Students in a classroom at the Fule School. This is one of nine concrete floors that Friends of Homacho completed at the school in 2018.
The students of the Fule School greeted Friends of Homacho when we visited the school after their floors were installed.
