THE YEKMENE SCHOOL PROJECT

Yekmene School, a K-8 elementary school also located in Ezha Woreda, is the second oldest primary school in the region built over 60 years ago.  It now serves over 600 students that comprise 53% boys and 47% girls.  IE seeks to rehabilitate the existing buildings and provide necessary desks, classroom equipment and school supplies as outlined in the project description above.

IE  has conducted needs assessment in partnership with Better Future e.V., a German NGO, and has provided about 300 reference books.
