N'DJAMENA, CHAD, CENTRAL AFRICA

EDUCATION & HEALTH PROJECTS FOR YOUTH & CHILDREN

Grade-Level Focus: 1st-8th

Language: French

Since 2020

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

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

EDUCATION IN CHAD

Students and teachers officially begin the school year during the month of October. However, in the year 2020, the government of Chad mandated that all school activities be suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since internet services are not available for them, students do not have any online or distance learning opportunities.

Therefore, the students have ceased to continue with their education for the current year, and the academic gaps have increased tremendously further cementing the educational inequalities that many “third-world countries” face. 

DILAPIDATED SCHOOL BUILDINGS

Year after year, students learn inside the dilapidated school buildings regardless of if there is tremendous heat averaging 105 degrees Fahrenheit and torrential rains during the months of July through October. As a result, the walls of the school buildings are weathering, and the tin aluminum tin roofs no longer provide shelter for the children who attend. 

NO SCHOOL FURNITURE & NO LEARNING RESOURCES

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

LIMITED ACCESS TO DRINKING WATER

The students and teachers  have limited access to drinking water, for they only have one water pump which is intended to provide water to 1,485 students and approximately 20 teachers and staff members. At times throughout the year, the water pump is not fully functional.
