Residents of Siiru, a town in the Wa West District, have taken matters into their own hands to provide classrooms for their children after years of government promises falling through. Behind Siiru D/A Basic School, mud blocks are drying in the sun, crafted through community labor, food donations, and small monetary contributions.
These efforts have resulted in two completed mud classrooms, one housing the first Junior High School One class and the other accommodating Basic Three pupils who previously studied under a tree. This initiative, part of a three-unit temporary classroom project, aims to address the school's lack of basic facilities needed for effective teaching and learning.
