Kombe Primary School and Its Community before the support from Fly&Help

Before the commencement of the current project, Kombe Primary School stood as a reflection of the many challenges faced by the surrounding community. Located in a low-lying, swampy area, the school environment was persistently affected by damp conditions, poor drainage, and limited accessibility—factors that made both learning and teaching extremely difficult. The school lacked adequate and permanent classroom structures. Many learners were forced to study in overcrowded, poorly constructed spaces that offered little protection from rain, heat, or wind. These conditions not only disrupted learning but also discouraged consistent attendance, particularly during adverse weather. Equally concerning was the absence of functional sanitation facilities. The school had no safe, hygienic, or reliable toilets to serve its growing population. This posed serious health risks, compromised the dignity of learners, and disproportionately affected girls, often leading to absenteeism and reduced participation in school activities. These challenges were further compounded by the socio-economic realities of the community. Kombe serves a population where many families live in extreme poverty, with limited and unpredictable sources of income. For some households, meeting basic needs such as daily meals remains a constant struggle. As a result, children often come to school hungry, lacking the physical and emotional readiness required for effective learning. In this context, the school was more than just under-resourced—it was a place where potential was constrained by circumstance. The lack of essential infrastructure and basic services created barriers that extended beyond education, affecting health, dignity, and future opportunities for the children of Kombe. This was the starting point that necessitated urgent, targeted intervention.

Construction of Classrooms and Sanitation facilities at Kombe Primary School

With support from Fly&Help through the valuable technical support from Leapfrog e.V, PRYCE CBO is currently implementing a transformative infrastructure project at Kombe Primary School, aimed at creating a safe, dignified, and conducive learning environment for every child. This initiative focuses on the construction of modern classrooms alongside improved sanitation facilities—two critical pillars for quality education and student well-being. The classroom construction is steadily progressing, with structural works nearing key milestones. Once completed, these new learning spaces will significantly reduce overcrowding, enhance teacher–student interaction, and provide an environment that supports concentration, creativity, and academic excellence. The design prioritizes durability, proper ventilation, and adequate lighting to ensure long-term sustainability and comfort for learners. In parallel, the sanitation component of the project is addressing a longstanding need within the school. The construction of safe, hygienic, and gender-sensitive toilet facilities is underway, ensuring that learners—especially girls—have access to dignified sanitation. This intervention is expected to improve school attendance, reduce health risks, and promote overall student confidence and retention. Despite the challenges associated with building in a resource-constrained setting, the project continues to make meaningful progress through careful planning, community involvement, and a strong commitment to accountability. Each phase is being executed with a focus on quality, transparency, and long-term impact. This ongoing work is more than construction—it is an investment in the future of Kombe’s children. By strengthening the school’s infrastructure, PRYCE CBO is helping to restore hope, inspire learning, and lay a solid foundation for generations to come. We invite partners, supporters, and well-wishers to join us in advancing this mission and ensuring its successful completion.
