N'DJAMENA, CHAD, CENTRAL AFRICA

EDUCATION & HEALTH PROJECTS FOR YOUTH & CHILDREN

Grade-Level Focus: 1st-13th

Language: French

Since 2020

The capital city, N’Djamena, is located in the Chari-Baguirmi Region of Chad, which borders Cameroon, a West African country. It is situated on arid, dry land. According to the United Nations Development Program, Chad is an impoverished country with a Human Development Index (HDI) of 0.39, ranking 185th out of 188 countries. The average income of families living in any Chadian community or village is between $18.00 and $28.00 US dollars per month. The national language taught in school is French.

The average income of families living in any Chadian community or village is between $18.00 and $28.00 US dollars per month. The national language taught in school is French. Due to the growing number of low-income and impoverished people in Chad, there is a lack of infrastructure and resources for students and teachers attending public and private schools.

EDUCATION IN CHAD

Students and teachers officially begin the school year in October. However, in 2020, the government of Chad mandated the suspension of all school activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since internet services are unavailable to them, students have no online or distance learning opportunities.

Therefore, the students ceased their education for the current year, and the academic gaps have widened significantly, further cementing the educational inequalities many “third-world countries” face. 

DILAPIDATED SCHOOL BUILDINGS

Year after year, students learn in the dilapidated school buildings, despite the tremendous heat averaging 105 degrees Fahrenheit and torrential rains from July through October. As a result, the school buildings' walls are weathering, and the tin roofs no longer provide shelter for the children who attend. 

NO SCHOOL FURNITURE & NO LEARNING RESOURCES

The furniture in the dilapidated classrooms consists of wilted, broken wooden benches and leftover cinder blocks or stones. Students do not have desks to sit at individually or bookshelves in the classrooms where school resources and materials can be stored. Students never have access to any books or learning tools for daily use. Teachers use a single, worn-out chalkboard, barely standing on two uneven wooden legs, to provide instruction in an overcrowded classroom of 150 students. 

LIMITED ACCESS TO DRINKING WATER

The students and teachers have limited access to drinking water, as only one water pump serves 1,485 students and approximately 20 teachers and staff members. At times throughout the year, the water pump is not fully functional. In remote villages, these water sources are often used to support the entire town, especially during the drought season. A clean, properly maintained water source prevents waterborne diseases from being prevalent, decreasing the children's morbidity rate in isolated, rural communities.
