SPRING WATER COMMUNITY ACADEMY
With more than 300 pupils Spring Water Community Academy sits in the heart of Mabron community. We got to know the school and the community back in 2016 in the aftermath of the Ebola pandemic, reuniting orphaned children with biological family. And when they faced a crisis of closure with teachers unpaid for 8 months they turned to Hope and now teachers are paid on time and registered with social security, the school has an extra teacher to improve teaching ratios; a new caretaker to keep the school pick and span and a new well to reduce pressure on the communities only other water source.
HOPES HIGH STANDARDS SUMMER SCHOOL
Hope's free summer school helps local children keep a focus on learning, staying engaged through the summer break, with free learning materials and breakfast snacks.
Led by two qualified teachers, and practicing with past national curriculum papers, our annual summer school aims to prepare the children well for the challenges of the new school year ahead. And with students numbers increasing by 38% in 2024 to 55 we're proud that thirty young girls benefited successfully graduating in 2024!
