| Renovation and Development of Rundown Schools | |
School functions as a springboard for children and helps give them an essential start in life. That’s why the Foundation believes that all Egyptian children deserve well-equipped, modern schools that ensure they have a better future. Today, the Foundation is concentrating its efforts on renovating the schools in underprivileged areas of Mokattam. A survey of the schools in the district indicated that the following schools were the most in need: Al-Sayyida Khadiga, Ali Ibn Ali Taleb, Tarek Ibn Ziyad and Ammar Ibn Yasser. The schools had classrooms with no blackboards, broken desks, missing or shattered window |
panes, dirty and peeling paint, badly maintained and dirty bathrooms, no clean drinking water and neglected playgrounds with piles of garbage. Since then, a total overall facelift and renovation of the schools has been completed. This involved repainting buildings and classrooms and the redecoration of playgrounds and recreational areas. It also included new environmental-friendly blackboards, desks, windowpanes, drapes, flooring, carpentry and plumbing - and the provision of water coolers to ensure students have access to clean drinking water. |
