Calling on your support to help construct a classroom block at Mother Erinah Junior School with ISSB
We call on your financial support to help construct a classroom block at Mother Erinah Junior School with Interlocking Soil Stabilized Block (ISSB).

Following a deadly storm which destroyed classrooms at Mother Erinah Junior School in May 2022, Interlocking Soil Stabilized Blocks have been produced and today we have enough to construct a classroom block which can accommodate 200 learners (https://bit.ly/3irPpQF).
Your generous donation will be used to buy: Cement, Sand, Gravels, Hardcore stones, iron bars and Technical labour for constructing the foundation.

Interlocking Stabilized Soil Blocks (ISSB) for Constructing Classrooms at Mother Erinah Junior School

In May 2022, Mother Erinah Junior School suffered a very strong storm which completely destroyed all classrooms and children were left with no option other than having their lessons in open sunshine as per this LINK (bit.ly/3tqKql5) indicates.

Since it was a rainy season, we worked around the clock to mobilize resources for constructing temporary classrooms and it is on this note that I take this opportunity to thank all our donors like Bluebonnets, Youth Time Banking and all individual donors who responded to the call.

In search for the best, cheap and sustainable solution to help build classrooms for rural schools, we picked on Interlocking Stabilized Soil Block (ISSB) Technology.

The Interlocking Stabilized Soil Blocks (ISSBs) are easy to produce and make construction work cheap and quick. With this kind of blocks, you don't use cement while constructing but just interlocking the blocks and even children can easily interlock the blocks and no need of building construction experience.
The blocks are produced by mixing a little cement into soil. A bag of cement (50Kg) is mixed in 12 wheelbarrows of red soil which produces 130 blocks. The blocks are left to cure for 14 days and then 7-14 days for drying.

Lastly, we request for your financial support to help us buy cement for producing enough blocks for constructing more classrooms.

Students around the world have fallen behind in their studies because of related school closures. We need global commitments on improving learning NOW.

The Pre-Summit will help create momentum and serve as a key milestone toward a global movement for education. https://un.org/en/transforming-education-summit/pre-summit

Thank you all who have so far supported us. We share these updates with you on the construction of temporary classrooms to help accommodate over 250 children who have so far reported back for the second academic term. We still need more support and feel free to get in touch.

We experienced a very heavy and strong storm which destroyed some of our classroom structures. Good enough, children are on holiday apart from a few who turn up to complete writing letters to their friends.

Children will report back for their second academic term on 09th May 2022 and it is on this note that we call for your possible support to enable us put up temporary structures where they can continue with their classes.
