Project: Ta Phin Primary School

Location: Tua Chua district
Status: FUNDRAISING

Background Information

Situated 30 kilometers from Tua Chua district, Ta Phin commune is a very poor mountainous area with 814 households and 4,178 residents. Most of the locals are Mong people, who usually grow rice, corn, and some other kinds of plants on the mountainside to earn a living. Because of severe weather and natural conditions, their living quality is below standard with low education and awareness. In recent years, local authorities have tried to improve facilities to increase people's access to education, healthcare, and commerce.

Ta Phin Primary School is in the commune center and serves 520 students (19 classes), which includes 289 boarding students. Due to its far distance from the villages, most students need to stay at school during the week and return to their houses on the weekend.

Difficulties

Currently, there are 17 classrooms and 02 functional rooms in the school. After in-depth onsite research, we have figured out many infrastructural difficulties that Ta Phin Primary School is facing:

05 temporary classrooms (01 room borrowed from the community house)
01 temporary boarding room
02 temporary and unsanitary restrooms used by both teachers and students
Temporary and shabby kitchen
