Key Amba Primary School
Our future project is to build an elementary school and providing support for the local community.
Key Amba Primary School
Key Amba Primary School, Gonder, Ethiopia: In 2019 and 2020, We organized a fundraising campaign that led to the construction of the Queen Zewditu and Queen Mentewab classroom blocks for the Key Amba Primary School in Gonder. Key Amba is a public school located in Kebele 01 in Gonder, which had not been renewed or repaired in several decades. Each newly-constructed block has 4 classrooms, which serve a total of 670 students from Kindergarten through 8th
This project was carried out through an agreement between the project organizers from Martha Belay, the Key Amba school administration, local government authorities, and the kebele youth association. Upon completion, the classroom blocks were formally handed over to the school and community, through an inauguration ceremony hosted by the Mayor of Gonder and other officials and community representatives.
For more information about the Key Amba School Renovation (including photos, videos, and updates on the project from start to finish), you can visit the GoFundMe and Facebook pages that were created for and updated throughout the project.
Why Saga Bridge?
Currently, due to the absence of nearby schools, children travel for hours to go to school. Children have to cross one of the largest rivers in the community to go to school. During the winter season, the river is full. Several people and cattle die each year trying to cross the river due to the absence of a bridge.
Este is the nearest city to the rural community. Many folks have go to Este for medical and shopping needs on a frequent basis. During winter, the community people will have to wait up to two months to cross the river until the river is no longer full, due to the absence of a bridge.
Having a bridge over the Saga River will make it possible for the rural community to travel to Este without having to walk two additional hours to go across the nearest bridge.
Our Goal
All donations 100% will go to support the construction of an elementary school. Our project is working with the local community and we’ve achieved great successes.
- 100% of funds go to Building Public Library
