View of the site as classroom Block A nears completion

On the weekend of October 11th Birisa Bedhane Dechasa and Olana Hundessa visited the site near Guder and recorded this video which shows the work that has been done and that which remains. WDEF are in awe of the efforts being made by our partners WADA, and the workers on site to realise Workneh’s vision.

Block A comprises 4 classrooms and will be matched by a similar Block B. There will also be two smaller Blocks for student’s belongings and toilets. Funding for Block C has been donated by Harriet’s Footsteps Charity.

The foundations are laid 26th June 2025

Our partners in Oromia, WADA sent this image of the completed substructure of Block A which has been completed within budget and without unnecessary delays. WADA presented itemised their anticipated costs to complete the superstructure and the requested funds were agreed by the Trustees.

This phase of the build should be completed in September.
