El Malcote School

Thanks to generous funding from A Better World, work began in August for a new school for El Malcote village. Work is still in progress and is scheduled to be completed around December.

El Malcote village is extremely poor and growing fast. There are 80 students in this school, 40 of whom have a classroom. The others are taught sitting under rusty pieces of tin, which villagers have added to combat the torrential rains. The heavy rainy season will start in a few months which is why this is imperative to start building a new school as soon as possible.

Painting of the new school has begun!
