BEFORE - Guelleh Batal primary school did not offer an environment conducive to learning. The school lacked a boundary wall or any form of sanitation system, grossly endangering the health and well-being of students and teachers. Classrooms were run down and had minimal school materials and equipment.

AFTER - USAID helped rehabilitate 12 classrooms, replacing doors and windows, repairing the roof, renovating the electrical system and installing new lights and fans. The exterior and interior walls were patched and painted, and the classroom floors were redone. Classrooms were also fully furnished with new equipment. A community outreach program now orchestrates maintenance of the school and its surroundings.
