The Project Impact of Classroom Expansion in Burundi

“We are so happy: me, the students, parents, and the community, even the local [government]”
– Ferdinand Nishirimbere, headmaster of Ecole Fundamental de Matana School

Matana, Burundi

Earlier this month, the ARDF Global Council approved new development projects. At the same time, they also reviewed the impact of recently completed projects.

This project in Matana, Burundi, was one of five that the Council celebrated. Expanding this school with additional classrooms not only increased access to education, it also significantly improved the quality of the education by reducing the overcrowding that had hampered the teachers’ ability to serve their students. You can watch the Impact Report below.

And you can watch more impact videos on our Projects Page.

This short (<3 min.) video highlights the impact of the project in Burundi.
