A school for children with no chance for education

Dear Friends!

In the village of Brobo, a young girl named Adele gathers sticks in front of her hut, arranging them in neat rows. To her, these sticks represent a classroom, a space where she can learn and thrive. Adele dreams of becoming a teacher, yet her aspirations remain unfulfilled as there is no school in her village. This report outlines the urgent need for educational facilities in Brobo and highlights the efforts being made to create a brighter future for its children, particularly those with disabilities.

Current Situation
The lack of a formal school in Brobo has left many children, like Adele, without access to education. The absence of educational infrastructure not only stifles their dreams but also limits their potential for personal and community development. Recognizing this dire situation, Prof. Vincent Asse, a pediatric specialist and native of Brobo, has taken the initiative to build a school before the onset of the rainy season. His commitment to improving educational opportunities for children in his hometown is commendable and has garnered support from the community and beyond.

Progress Towards Building the School
With funds already raised, construction of the school is underway, including plans for a complex dedicated to children with disabilities. This facility aims to create an inclusive environment where all children can learn and grow together. However, to realize this vision fully, there is a pressing need for financial support to acquire specialized stimulating equipment designed to aid in the development of skills for children with disabilities.

 The Need for Specialized Equipment
The provision of specialized equipment is crucial for fostering an inclusive educational environment. This equipment will not only help children with disabilities develop their skills but also promote a sense of belonging and self-worth. With the right tools, these children will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful learning experiences, paving the way for a brighter future.

We appeal to GlobalGiving and its generous community to support our mission in Brobo. Your contributions will directly impact the lives of children like Adele, enabling them to access education and fulfill their dreams. Together, we can create a school that not only serves as a place of learning but also as a beacon of hope for the entire community.

The vision of a school in Brobo is becoming a reality thanks to the dedication of Prof. Vincent Asse and the support of donors. However, we cannot achieve our goals without further funding for specialized equipment. We invite you to join us in this vital endeavor to ensure that every child in Brobo has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Together, we can build a future where dreams are not just imagined but realized.

Dear Friend,

With deep gratitude and sincere joy, we thank each and every one of you who has contributed to this life-changing project. Your generosity has brought hope, dignity, and a future to the children of Brobo.

Let us tell you about Adele.Adele is a little girl who lives in the heart of Brobo. Every morning, she carefully gathers sticks in front of her small clay hut. She places them in neat rows in the sand. She pretends it’s a classroom. She stands in front of the sticks and begins to teach, dreaming of one day becoming a real teacher. But Adele doesn’t go to school — because until now, there has been no real school in Brobo.That’s changing — thanks to you.

Prof. Vincent Asse, a pediatrician born in Brobo, has devoted his life to giving children like Adele a chance. With your support, we have gathered the funds necessary to begin building a proper school, including a specialized complex for children with disabilities. 

Project Progress

• 
  Goal: €18,581
• 
  Raised so far: €9,248
• 
  Remaining: €9,333
• 
  Supporters: 78 donors, 1 monthly donor, 2 fundraisers
• 
  Timeline: 4 years since launch

Thanks to your support, construction is finished. For the first time, the children of Brobo have a classroom with solid walls, a roof that protects them from rain, and desks where they can write and learn in peace.

The Need Ahead: Stimulating Equipment for Children with Disabilities

While the building is finished, we now face the next urgent need: specialized equipment for children with physical and cognitive disabilities. These children, too, dream and have the right to learn, grow, and thrive.

We aim to furnish the school with:

• 
  Sensory stimulation tools
• 
  Adaptive learning materials
• 
  Simple physiotherapy aids
• 
  Accessible furniture for children with mobility challenges

These tools will help the children develop essential motor, communication, and cognitive skills and will allow them to be included in everyday school life.

Why This Matters

Brobo is a village 30 kilometers from the city of Bouaké. Until now, it had only a makeshift school — a roof of palm leaves, held up by bamboo sticks, with no floor and no walls. During the rainy season, classes were halted altogether, as water pours down directly on the children’s heads. Children with disabilities had no chance for any social life. They were hidden by their families.

This means no learning. No progress. No future.

The school we’re building changes that. It brings:

• 
  Protection from harsh weather
• 
  Comfort through desks, blackboards, and clean surroundings
• 
  Inclusion for children with disabilities
• 
  Dignity and a belief in a better tomorrow

Long-Term Vision

This project is not just about bricks and mortar — it’s about breaking the vicious circle of poverty. It’s about empowering children. It’s about Adele standing in front of a real classroom one day, not just a row of sticks.

With your continued help, we can develop the school. We can equip it for every child. We can open a door to the future — and keep it open.

Thank you for standing with us.

With gratitude and hope,
