Before we started helping the school they received funding from the Canadian consulate in Lagos which built most of this 5 classroom primary school building.  Note the half-finished roof.

Our second round of funding enabled the nursery school building to reach this level in 2002.

Work proceeds on the final classroom building, 2006.

The final classroom building is C or U shaped.  By August 2006, two of the three wings were finished.  This photo is taken from the planned Bodo-Bonny Island Expressway.  Other than minor trim work, as of June 2009, this building is now fully complete and functional.

To protect the school from crime and to separate the students from the planned Bodo-Bonny Island Expressway, we started constructing a fence around the school's primary school buildings in 2006.  This fence is now largely completed.

Work starting on what will be boys, girls and teachers' latrines, August 2006.

The finished latrines, June 2009.  The waste pit is in the front of the picture and the toilets are in the white painted building.

One of the three toilets now fully functioning.  One toilet is for boy students, one is for girl students and one is for teachers.

The water to flush the toilets and to provide the school with drinking water comes from this borehole which opened in June 2009.  The borehole was funded entirely by our partners at Stepping Stones Nigeria and we are grateful for their generous support.

In addition to water for the school, Stepping Stones Nigeria also funded two public water taps that local villagers can freely access outside the fence that surrounds the school's property.

This is the water tap inside the school.  A report on how the borehole has improved the quality of the school's drinking water is posted in the documents and reports page on this website.
