Smaller Successes • 15 November 2026

Good news from the teachers’ house! 🏠

The house now has a floor and the walls are plastered. So the teachers and older young people now sleep inside.

What is still missing

What is still missing now are mattresses.

You can see how the house was built step by step right below.

How the teachers’ house was built

Until now our teachers stayed in a small settlement some way from the school – and we paid rent for it. Now we are building them their own house with two rooms, right on our grounds.

The shell

Our vocational students fired the bricks themselves – and everyone helps with the building. So the house grows row by row.

The house is standing

The roof is on, the house is standing. That’s a big step forward – because it brings several benefits at once:

  • We no longer have to pay rent.
  • The teachers are close to the children and can look after them.
  • We can house more children right on the grounds.
